Pros

very skilled coworkers, great brand name, flexibility with vacation (dependent upon your group), always looking for ways to improve, "if you're not first, you're last" mentality

Cons

long hours, for a company making around $8bn the pay isn't great, perfection is satisfactory, anything less is failure, anything more is expected...this causes lots of stress

Pros

BlackRock is a global firm that offers more opportunities within the different offices/divisions of the firm. Benifit was good too.

Cons

Sometimes it takes a lot of time and effort to get things done. You have to follow the internal policies and procedures and go through multiple proposals and meetings.

Pros

It is a true meritocracy, where people's success isn't driven by the school they attended or who their daddy is/was, but by their talent and drive.

Cons

It is beginning to feel like a big company with the attendant big company challenges--the need to evolve to a big-company managment structure, disparate locations and different legacy cultures mixing together. It's not a start-up any more. But it's still a great company with a great business model.
