Toxic

Business Outlook

Pros

If you think size matters, BLK is big.

Cons

Toxic, highly political, constantly backstabbing culture. If you’re not inside the “club”, you will be annihilated. It matters not whether you’re highly talented and a high performer. If you raise any thoughtful questions or concerns - or so much as look at anyone the “wrong way” you will be personally attacked and destroyed.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good computer screens maybe. they give three screens to let you better work as a robot

Cons

You won't have future development at all in this role. It is not TRANSFERABLE. so if you stick to this role. you won't be able to go anywhere else. the working hour is super long. normally 12 hours a day PLUS weekend hours. and non paid after you get promoted, they will only give you +$3000 you upgrade your title. and the management is so bad. no respect. nothing. they don't treat you like person. micromanagement is way too bad. they just staring at the tickets to let you complete those. and for other times, they will watch football/basketball

Pros

Compensation is competitive. Nothing else.

Cons

Everything at BlackRock is a con. Culture is lousy, morale is extremely low across the board, they overwork their employees, and expectations are unrealistic. Overall poor management, who does not put emphasis on training their people managers. I would not recommend my anyone work for BlackRock.
