Pros

Smart, driven, and caring people - if you have a good people manager and team Good investment in college grads Good place to start career Developer and technology experience slowly but surely improving Decent benefits

Cons

Frat bro culture from the top down Aggressively anti WFH to the point where you will be managed out even with an approved exemption Pay is Pennies compared to market rate Cut back significantly on DEI Senior leadership genuinely does not care about employees You’re probably gonna be replaced by AI Frequent turnover

Declining Culture

Pros

They work you hard here, responsibility early on

Cons

BlackRock is now in a position where it is trying to cut costs. It is making poeple redunant, and asking current employees 'to do more with less'. This causes people to become overworked, stressed, and unhappy. This declines the culture and makes the company not a great one to work at. I would understand if they paid us better but they don't, so the harder work is not justified.
