Pros

BlackRock is a dynamic company with an appealingly flat hierarchy - analysts have easy, convenient access to vice presidents and directors. The benefits and pay are attractive (although I don't know that they're any better than other NYC finance firms). There are occasional organized social activities, and the people are generally pleasant and motivated, easy to get along with.

Cons

The hours are quite long in my department, for the first year or two. It can make it feel like you don't have time to experience a whole lot outside of work. The work is demanding and sometimes tedious, but not unbearably so.

Pros

Room for growth, great company culture, strong leadership. Blackrock is in a growth stage which makes for a perfect time to jump on board. As long as you put in the time and work, there are ample opportunities to advance. We have many offices around the world, so those who would like to explore the world while staying with Blackrock have the opportunity. Blackrock has a strong foundation, built up from our inspiring leaders. We are at only 20yrs into business, but our leaders have already grown Blackrock into a worldwide prestigious firm.

Cons

We don't offer the highest salaries around. HR is having a difficult time keeping up with company growth, which is creating a backload of work.
