Pros

Had a few few years with BLK but all those started with me all left as they had ENOUGH.

Cons

Salary below Market Rate. Employee has to pay for the name to be on their CV Work Life balance was a nightmare... even when you had to take off for family reason, you still will be contacted to do some work HR only think about the business --- HR stands for Hardly Relevant Manager was very rude and had complaints addressed to HR... But all left the BAD stayed

Business Outlook

Pros

Good salary, benefits, training, attention to employee comforts. Fast rising culture if you aren't adverse to change of job function or location. Bonuses commeasurate with effort.

Cons

As a leading finance company, results dominate culture. Sometimes you can disappear among the work. Can be diificult to be expected to be independent and yet accountable. 110‰ is the minimum expected effort, can be frustrating. Work life balance can be tough. Bare employee space, can be on top of your neighbor's desk.

Not BGI, which was a wonderful company to work for.

Vice president

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Money, but not as lucrative as BGI. With the acquisition, came a brain drain, so the NY bankers weren't equipped to deal with the market changes.

Cons

Everything else, such as a lack of leadership, transparency, interest in the local office, and the brain drain.
