Pros

Decent Pay and benefits. You are given the basics of what you need to perform your job. There are additional educational possiblilties if you persue them. People are very knowlegeable here.

Cons

To me manangement seems not to care about the whole person, as long as I show up to work and do my time all is well. I've been told to succeed I must watch my email and pick up additional things on weekends, contrary to any work life balance that is talked about. Two huge companys are coming together and it's been a hard process of trying to merge 'legacy' operations into one Blackrock. I mentioned the pro of talented people, however its hard for all this talent to share. People are nose to the grindstone in most cases and too lost in their own work to look up and foster better interpersonal relationships.

In the context of India, Salary is not structured in "pay for performance" or "pay for the contribution in revenue".

Pros

1. If you're not the only person left in your team supporting umpteen applications then you can generally get time off whenever you need it.

Cons

1. you will acquire a boring non transferable skill set 2. you will not be given any transferable technical training unless you are willing to do it in your own time and pay for it yourself 3. If you're not a legacy Blackrock employee you have little chance of career development 4. not enough legacy BGI employees left to support the BGI applications 5. management ignore staff who have resigned and are working their notice - in some cases they won't even look at them - bizarre! 6. low morale and a general feeling of hopelessness in the London office
