Pros

Very well respected industry name. Strong analytics. Large variety of products.

Cons

Very little upward mobility. Very little work reward for a job well done. Buddy system is how the company works. If youre in, youre set, if not you will ride out your days in a cube.

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.
