Pros

Salaries and benefits are great. Recognizable name, exciting industry. You will learn a ton.

Cons

Environment is hostile to innovation, especially in the Client Services arena. Directors are abusive bullies who only value being right. New concepts are stifled and process re-engineering is frowned upon. Work-life balance is non-existent. Any attempt to work standard hours or help your family are punished by the "good ol boy" network here. Don't expect a title that is transferable.

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.
