Pros

The office runs seamlessly enough. Being a huge company, they can provide you with all the little things.

Cons

Its TOO big to make a significant measurable impact. You get lost in the crowd, and people are too tense.

Pros

If you are focused and ambitious, its one of the best places to work in BlackRock. The benefits are very good; you need to stand out though with your good work each time though; mediocre performance will not do. I liked the company culture; its motivating for employees and aptly aggressive for this market.

Cons

You are not aware of what's going on much; unless you try to find out. Barring this; its a good place to grow.

Pros

Leader in the industry. Decisions get made (even if they're the wrong ones!). Innovative. Global.

Cons

Culture is on hours seen to be working not quality of output. No concept of work/life balance and treating employees well. Decisions made by senior mgmt only - no delegation or empowerment. Allergic to clear reporting lines and org structures.
