BlackRock reviews

too much talks from everyone they suck

- little to no pay rises annually, and if internally promoted, you just have to accept you will be forever underpaid to external hires/market. - The new Edinburgh office is lovely but not in the best location. - 4 days in the office. There is a lack of flexibility for returning mothers (only two weeks phased return) which makes life difficult. - there is a drive to score people down on year end reviews (so to justify lack of promo/salary rise/bonuses) which is leading to low motivation. Some people managers are good at playing politics and protecting their team, and others not so good. - Promotion process is pretty poorly implemented. Very much who you know, how loud you are, how much your manager will stand up for you, how great you are at politics. - There is a culture that if you don’t agree with all decision making etc then you are a “troublemaker”. If you are a “yes-man” you will do well here. Opinions and constructive criticism and feedback are not wanted here. Even if you try packaging it better. Global surveys are just a HR tick box with no outcomes.
