BlackRock reviews

-Terrible work life balance, you are working 12-16 hour days -The culture is all about face time so you "come into work unless you are dead", people have been really ill before and still came into work because of their manager -You are expected to say yes to everything that people on other teams ask you to do and saying no means you aren't a "yes person" or a "solutions oriented person" -Nepotism is rampant! Management plays favorites in terms of who gets promotions and bonuses, it's very obvious who rises fast and who does not -The moment you are questioning how things work on the team is when you are considered undesirable and you get staffed on crappy projects -There are some managers who belittle you in front of others and you are expected to just take it -Internal mobility is impossible because you have no transferable skills and your manager will actively work against you to prevent you from leaving -Work is actually project management of Aladdin, it has nothing to do with finance or technology -People are afraid to speak out while they are still on the team because of the bad culture on this team where people are favored over others, so the repercussions are demoralising

- The job description didn't reflect the actual job - the concept of the position given during the interview doesn't exist in reality, it's their idealized version of what the job is - No support, proper training from the local offices, mostly arrogant and condescending colleagues - Transition from the UK/US reflects the lack of processes -Not able to consider new ideas or input, "it's always been done this way" attitude - Old, slow and inadequate systems that do not, in any way, allow you to do your job properly - Management doesn't take in consideration your point of view, either positive or in the form of constructive criticism - Depending on the team, you will not be able to take advantage of the unlimited holidays - No flexibility, no work from home
