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.

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.
