      Pros

      Good pay, great brand name

      Cons

      No passion, no energy. Finance isn’t full of roses, but a not a culture for people engaged in world around them.

      World class organization going through an identity crisis

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Cutting edge of AM: Fink & co have identified correct trends in AM and have capitalized through inorganic growth (passive over active, alts, tech). Firm trades at a multiple 1.5x peers because of this. Benefits are solid: Flexible time off (team specific) is really dope. Matching 50% 401k contributions is good. Global focus and culture: loads of good people work here and the firm emphasizes diversity and being global.

      Cons

      Vulnerable: zero fee proliferation threat, still a very high reliance on public markets that are increasingly volatile as rates and macro risks increase. A lot of fat across the board: Many individuals (and teams) add little value for what they’re compensated for. Plurality of culture exists... is healthy to some degree and natural due to the inorganic growth of the company, but creates asymmetric expectations.

      Best place to work in fintech in Budapest

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very innovative firm, there is a big emphasis on technology improvements. As a software engineer you will find yourself working with the latest tools and languages which is outstanding in the fintech sector. There is a constant effort to modernise our existing tools and write code in its best quality. The UI that we write should also look amazing and the code really needs to be tested well (not only backend, but UI code as well!). The Budapest office really succeeds in hiring the best engineers available in the region. Plus the new office is amazing! I highly recommend Blackrock engineering teams!

      Cons

      I did not see anything wrong while working here.
