Pros

A good variety of work, with a wide range of interests and responsibilities. Fun working on a team that has existed for < 10years and has had great success

Cons

Management could guide their reports better. Sometimes senior members seem guarded of information (lack of trust? job security?), and training could be better.

Pros

Massive exposure to positions world wide and once you are inside it can be a great place to make your home and obtain your "gold watch". In some cases you can really be appreciated with regard to compensation if you are able to specialize and seperate yourself from the pack.

Cons

If you don't like the corporate culture investment foundation of this firm then stick with individual "boutiques". Big bank atmosphere allows certain personalities to thrive. Overall, this is not a bad place to work. Benefits and salaries are more structured and limited due to the larger "I.B." culture (remember this is still BofA even though people pretend it is not!!)

Pros

BlackRock seems to value its people on a personal level, with management showing flexibility around day to day schedules so long as necessary work is done well

Cons

Sometimes the pathway to promotion is not clear, and it seems that people at the same title can be paid very differently.
