Depends on your manager

Executive assistant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There is a lot of "talk" about AAs and EAs being important, but a lot depends on who your manager is, as inconsistency on job duties and responsibilities vary widely.

Cons

The struggle is real for growth, and they'll wear you down for promotions - too much is tied to who you support, rather than what you personally bring to the table.

BlackRock Response

Thanks for taking a moment to share your opinion with us.

Going down hill quickly

Vice president

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good on the CV, Aladdin is good system to learn

Cons

Going down hill fast, lots of senior people are leaving and in the past year people I have known to work at Blackrock for over 5 years have left due to the way they are treated. Big disconnect between the workers and senior management of the same departments. No real perks like other companies offer. The flexible time off is a bit of a con its all down to your manager how much you get to take and my manager only let us have the standard 25 days off. Wouldn't recomend better places and people elsewhere plus the compensation doesnt reflect the status of BlackRock you will be well underpaid and bonuses have been stale for past 3 years

BlackRock Response

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re disappointed to hear about your experience with your manager, our Flexible Time Off policy is available to all employees and is meant to provide employees with the opportunity to take time off when they need to relax and recharge. Regarding your comments about compensation, we reward our employees fairly for their contributions and give opportunities to share in our firm’s growth and success. We’re disappointed you felt your compensation did not measure up to your performance and responsibilities.
