Pros

It’s hard to get in, but once you’re in it feels like an accomplishment! The staff in the canteen, the security staff and the 5th floor hospitality staff are all super friendly. It’s a great name to have on your CV

Cons

Currently 4 days a week in the office, that’s what they call hybrid. Quite tired office spaces/small toilets Expect micro-management from those in senior Director positions. Someone senior checks absolutely everything you send internally. You can be pulled up on a typo very quickly You have to be able to manage a lot of work You are given a laptop but you have to log on to a server to access all firmwide information, which is a pain the day you work from home. They still don’t know how to use Teams effectively, you can’t call anyone via Teams. Nobody really chats in the office, you sit there in silence if you’re not in meetings. Pay is okay, but you definitely work hard!

Pros

Good pay and bonus. Very global company

Cons

Lack of support and was told to work it out myself a lot. I think I was the wrong hire for what they needed. Lots of protests outside Blackrock which was unnerving
