BlackRock reviews

Their analyst program works well because they're hiring newly graduated college students. This way they can train their employees to learn the way it should be from the beginning. They'll have no other experience to compare so they won't know how bad the work environment can be. They prefer to produce with lean resources to make sure that Larry Fink will get his several million dollary salary and bonuses. Senior management only talks amongst themselves and then perhaps they'll take some feedback from the "subordinates" they favor most. Even if you do get promoted, there is no guarantee there is a raise because that will take away from the senior managements pay raise and bonuses.

Tech group is run by the abrasive BlackRock 'New York clique' - if youre not in that group then forget it. Good BGI people leaving frequently since the integration. BlackRock (as usual) focused too much on the technology and not the people, its a bit late now to make token gestures. The performance management process this year is a shambles (again not focusing on the people) - very little guidance and no cascading objectives. All in all a complete disaster for the San Francisco BGI people. Trading teams need a PMO to organize the many development teams
