Business Outlook

Pros

BlackRock is well know for excellence within financial services industry so having worked there is great for your cv. There are many intelligent and professional people working there so you learn a lot from them.

Cons

There is too much emphasis placed on corporate titles rather than the ability of individuals. People are not encouraged to be innovative, but rather simply to tow the company lines and do as senior management instructs.
