BlackRock reviews

Obsessed with diversity which is code for not hiring white men. Don't bother applying if you are white & male. Openly admit to this with comments from the top of the business stating 'lets just say we've raised the bar for white guys' and 'this quarter we hired a record number of non white males - well done to all'. Matter of time before they get sued for this. Pay is below average and they are aware but think people will take a pay cut to work for them "cause they are Blackrock" Pick your group well. Not all groups are treated equally. Top management have favorites. At the moment Technology doing well and firm always had a fixed income focus so. There is a saying in Blackrock that if you report into a founding member you are sorted, without getting on their radar you are a number.

Where to start..... Salaries & bonus are rubbish and below industry average as blackrock rely on their dubious reputation to attract eager talent Management only cares about sales, not service - consequently service / relationship management is not respected or remunerated Dated platform & technology - fragmented infrastructure is slow and cumbersome Cultural issues remain despite BGI 'unification' years ago Long hours with little appreciation Little bonus but thank you for your contribution for the Firm
