Pros

Really prestigious company. Very much respected due to its size. Anyone would be proud to work for them. In many respects it is a model investment management firm. Truly global firm. Looks really good on the CV.

Cons

Top heavy. Can be cut-throat. Lots of politics. Pay isn't always the best

Pros

BlackRock is a well respected company, a true leader in the industry. Upper management appears to care about employees and takes feedback seriously. The company attracts fantastic talent.

Cons

It has become a more and more bureaucratic place to work at. There are very frequent structural reorganizations which can be exhausting.

Pros

Very smart and hardworking colleagues. Fantastic information sharing culture and openness of senior management is great to see.

Cons

Aggressive culture. Also, New York HQ could mean a lot of travel to NY if you are in an office outside of the city and wish to get ahead/greater visibility in your career.
