BlackRock reviews

That hate humanity above all else

To sum, PAG is a team that tries very hard to prove itself valuable, while in reality the purpose of having team is questionable. 1. There’s no clear scope of work. Being in team means you essentially are expected to work on almost everything, ranging from answering questions about how to open a tool to automating excel to python. Anything beyond this? You’re lucky if you get real stuff to work on. 2. There’s no exposure to investment. Don’t ever think you can become an investor by working with this team. Yes, you do work with PMs, but the nature of your is described above. You are a person that’s smart and want to generate ideas, go somewhere else. 3. Your work is not valued. Compensation has nothing to do work your performance - if there’s a linkage, then it’s decided based on how much you brag about what you do (you have actually done it or not? Irrelevant). You also rarely got recognized by your “stakeholders” and managers. 4. The philosophy of the management team is to convince themselves and team members that this team does not have a problem - despite constant negative feedbacks, high turnovers, low employment satisfaction survey scores, etc. 5. Zero exit option - you realized this team is a dead end and want to jump out of it? Depending on locations, be prepared for months or years of efforts, as you have accumulated zero skills from this job for the positions you’re interested in - be it data science or investment. Just start from scratch, and the earlier the better. 6. People stay longer in the team, the less competent. See reasons above.
