      Pros

      You just have to follow procedures, easy! Subsidized meals and transport facilities.

      Cons

      It's boring, you don't get to learn new things. You are stuck at just following the process and there is not much to learn in it. They have a system that you have to follow and just follow.

      Not a nice place to work

      Pros

      Larry (CEO) and other members of the senior management are fantastic to listen to. They are interesting and inspiring, and keep me going, which is something I will miss when I leave. Great leadership. Great culture from the top and great drive for excellent people management, it's a shame that it doesn't always permeate to the lower echelons of the company and opposing sub-cultures have formed in certain areas, which are backwards and regressive.

      Cons

      Long hours. They have something called Flexible Time Off rather than statuatory holidays, and you don't always get enough or same amount of time off as you might in other places. Burning out is a risk. No career opportunities, especially now that there's no internal mobility. The area I am in is very clichey, which can hinder any opportunity or recognition if you are not considered one of them. Under-performing teams and people are not dealt with and given the appropriate training or development. They become a real burden, which increases the workload, hence longer hours. It's not enjoyable having to compensate for them constantly. My experience in BlackRock Finance has so far been poor. I was not treated well, especially for the first 18 months. It become marginally better when I started looking for other roles internally, i.e. a bad employer is like a bad boyfriend, he only starts paying attention to you when you start leave. However I do believe that it is localised to this area and I know other teams are good to work in.

      Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. We’re disappointed to hear that your experience at BlackRock has not met the standards we have put in place. We encourage you to speak with HR or your manager about how you can find a better work life balance. Flexible Time Off is designed to provide our employees with ample time off to relax and recharge. Additionally, we aim to provide all employees with opportunities for career mobility. We encourage you to speak to your manager or HR about your interests and internal opportunities.
