Pros

Prestige of the brand, that's about it.

Cons

Sink or swim environment, you cannot ask questions to peers within your team as they will report that to your manager. When you join a new team no one will show you even once how to do the specific tasks required, and if you can't figure it out by yourself you'll be cut within a year. Good performers also getting cut just to keep teams lean.

Pros

Plenty of opportunity to work on project teams. Lots of exposure to senior leaders in HR and the businesses. Great collaboration in the One BlackRock spirit. Benefits to support employees and their families are good.

Cons

Workload can be challenging at times. However, you are gaining a lot of new skills in a short prior of time and the ability to work with leaders is worth it.
