Pros

it's a big company and there are good opportunities in a wide range of different team to high performing people. it's a highly respect name to have in your resume and you can learn a lot from senior management

Cons

Politics is all what matters when comp/promotions are decided. The internal mobility thing are just nice words, but not encouraged in practice. If you have an old school manager, good luck with that.

Pros

Branding branding branding!!! an incredible brand, and having it on your resume opens some doors but not all.

Cons

The Preqin acquisition never really found its identity after becoming part of BlackRock. It felt like the focus shifted from listening to clients to fitting Preqin into a broader BlackRock strategy. As AI changes how firms access and analyze private market data, simply being a data provider isn’t enough anymore. My impression was that Preqin’s long-term value is likely to come from being integrated into the broader Aladdin ecosystem and APIs, rather than remaining a standalone platform. Leadership would benefit from spending more time listening to customers and the teams on the front lines instead of assuming they already know what the market wants.
