Pros

- Good medical benefits - Really smart people at the firm - Unlimited time off

Cons

- You are treated by your hierarchy level (Analyst > Associate > Vice President > Director > Managing Director) rather than as a human and employee of the company. Most analysts are snobbed/ treated as unimportant because of their level. - BlackRock gives multiple trainings to People Managers but most of them are still toxic. Had many folks leave due to this and that was the main reason I left. - Long work hours cause you are are salary based and not hourly based. You find yourself working about 13hours everyday and some teams would ask for more. - You’re given unlimited time off but rarely allowed to use it cause there is always SOO much work to do. - Huge politics in promotion and growing your career at the firm.

Pros

Lots of client exposure Learning unique products Aladdin

Cons

Too much politics in the team. Nobody stays for more than 2 years. Also they like you as long as you do their job. The moment you ask for a raise or a change they immediately intentionally make your life difficult
