BlackRock reviews

Too fast paced at times. Work life balance issues persist. Global model makes for work seemingly 24/7 at times depending on role and department.

- I reviewed BlackRock a year after they acquired BGI, optimistically observing that I hoped they'd reverse some of their troubling trends in talent mis-management. They haven't. - People who have been laid off are leaving with huge smiles. The rest of us are actively looking for other jobs, and fortunately, we are starting to find them. - A handful of people find their work at BlackRock challenging, interesting, and appropriate to their level of experience and seniority. But the majority of us are being paid to do essentially nothing. - Senior management is still running an 8,000-person firm as if it's a small company. If C-level executives feel compelled to attend every project meeting, something is wrong.
