Pros

If you want to learn a lot and be challenged daily this is the place to be. Things are always moving never a dull day. You get rewarded for effort knowledge and dedication.

Cons

Pace can be draining at times and the company runs lean. Needs to be the right fit if you are looking to collect a pay check without putting in the effort than blk is not for you.

Pros

Prestige, everyone knows BlackRock. Easy to move around if you get bored with your current role. BlackRock University is awesome for technical and soft skill workshops.

Cons

Some of the managers never leave their offices and don't empower or talk to employees. Decent pay to start, and then it slowly (2-3% per year) creeps up, even for the great employees. I've seen this time and time again. Promotions are political, so you really have to network, which is a good if you're outgoing, but bad if you're shy even if you're an outstanding employee
