Pros

matching 401k contributions and good health benefits; tuition reimbursement. They also refund you a healthy percentage of your gym membership at the end of the year, provided you can prove that you went more than twice in the year.

Cons

Long hours and poor work/life balance. In my particular group, they have allowed people to leave without replacing them, pushing the lion's share of work onto too few people. The process associated to my functions is highly antiquated and could be streamlined with the use of ready available technology, if management were to bother to learn said new technology. My job functions and title have changed 3 times in the 3 years I've been here, each time taking the functions further and further away from my career path.

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.
