Pros

very bright, dedicated junior staff

Cons

Bright dedicated staff will be ground into the ground given no training or transferrable skills or any experience that could be marketable out side of Blackrock. Pay is fair but not amazing like an investment bank. Technology increasingly unstable, lots of being called in at all hours to support. Revenue keeps increasing but going directly into the pockets of about 5 guys who have been around for ever and need to be replaced. If you are smart young tech worker go write mobile apps or start your own firm. Beware of the Solutions Center job. It's a help desk. Resetting passwords.

Pros

When you start as an analyst in the Aladdin and Technology group (as a developer or business analyst), you'll rotate through groups every 6 months for 3 or 4 rotations, after which you'll be asked to give your preferences on what team you'd like to go to. A great way to start, to see what you like and don't like, and to get a well-rounded introduction to the platform and technology we use.

Cons

Some of the technology and code is a little dated, but it seems like they are working to fix that.
