Pros

Great company Great colleagues Collaborative atmosphere/Solid Corporate culture Great managers Transitioning to ensure inclusion and diversity Addresses social issues head on Many opportunities to advance Unlimited vacation

Cons

Lack of diversity, barely any people of color in senior roles or client facing roles. My team/division has over 600 people, only 15 are black, diversity numbers are terribly low. Lack of inclusion (especially for admins), admins/EA's tend to get treated as resources, not as members of the team. BlackRock is the worlds largest Asset Manager, so you would think we would be a leader in everything, especially with diversity, they are only trying to change things up now because its a trend and its a cool thing to do. Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and even Deutsche Bank have done a wonderful job diversifying their talent. There are plenty HBCU's around the country that have top black/POC talent, if BlackRock really wanted it, its very easy to find. Most divisions in BLK only recruit from Ivy league schools, nepotism is also a huge problem.

Pros

Office facilities, flexi leave policy

Cons

Top management (US) needs to look at local India management. The firm has a very good reputation globally but somehow local management is not at par. LOTS AND LOTS OF POLITICS.
