Long days? You ain't seen nothing yet!

Pros

Everyone is expected to roll their sleeves up and get their hands dirty. Hands-on environment allows the opportunity to learn a lot.

Cons

I found co-workers less than willing to show a new colleague the ropes, more like "here's where you can start to look" or "here's someone else you can ask about that".

Get ready to work 12 hour days.

Business Outlook

Pros

Very competitive pay versus other companies in DE. Surrounded by very knowledgable colleagues. But many are two faced. Most people act like your friends but everyone is out to step all over you in order to get ahead.

Cons

YOu will have to say goodbye to your family. Once you join blackrock you will have absolutely NO work/life balance. Just get ready to sacrifice the next 5 - 10 years of your life and work 12 hour days. During interview they will avoid this question about "how many hours/day will you work?" Once you come on board its leave at 8pm and come in 8am or else. Stay away from Holiday.
