BlackRock reviews

Your experience is highly dependent on which business / team you are joining. Partly because of budget (how "important" your function is) and partly because of the people. My experience: -no team spirit whatsoever -okay starting salary but it gets higher veeery slowly... So maybe somewhere else you are offered less in the beginning but you get a raise more often. I accepted the offer mainly because of the salary but looking back, I could have probably negotiated the same at my previous company. -they like to brag about how great they are but really, it's just another multinational company -hr and payroll processes were a nightmare, I spent way too much time with making sure I get paid and we had to check our payslip and actual payments because mistakes are made regularly -the new office.. Yeah looks good , but not at all practical and facility management was slow to respond to problems or suggestions. I would give up a modern-looking working environment any day for an office where things actually function well. -the job was different from how it was presented at the interview... I did not like my job and I wish they had picked someone else who could have been a better fit. -some of the management was difficult to work with: little understanding of our job but oh so much to say -they are trying to differentiate themselves from SSCs but it is what it is...

Awful awful awful leadership in this place. The two MD’s overseeing the group are absolute nitwits who can’t plan or budget to save their lives. Didn’t even receive budget until after the year started, zero direction, yet zero autonomy and rampant micro management. Managers are new, unskilled and have no clue what it takes to manage people. Projects, plans and direction change at the drop of a hat meaning you are at the mercy of biting your tongue when they operate in a dysfunctional fashion. They’ll tell you this is an “inclusive eneviromwnt”. No it is not. You can’t dare speak up and share your opinion. They only people who get gears are friends of leadership. Everyone else gets treated like a second class citizen. They over-hire and over-fire. Spare yourself and go to an established company that operates like an established company. Also, the New York City headquarters looks like the 70s ...still. Wood paneling, dark floors, no space to have to have meetings, get work done quietly. You are at the mercy of a loud open floor plan where you can even hear on phone calls. Just please stay away. There are more modern and more well functioning companies out there that pay better.
