Pros

Brand, brand, brand...and well, brand.

Cons

Everything else...firm has very generic products that it touts as 'unique', the promotion process is based on weekend golf trips, and no real clear career path, mostly dogmatic middle management and quite frankly, your skills atrophy

Pros

Plenty of opportunity to work on project teams. Lots of exposure to senior leaders in HR and the businesses. Great collaboration in the One BlackRock spirit. Benefits to support employees and their families are good.

Cons

Workload can be challenging at times. However, you are gaining a lot of new skills in a short prior of time and the ability to work with leaders is worth it.
