Pros

Few late nights and weekends. Lower management seems to understand that people are unhappy. Most lower management seems to want to improve the toxic environment.

Cons

It is a horrible environment. It is difficult to get work done with constant interruptions and 25% of your time spent doing paperwork. People are always in a bad mood and there is a lot of bickering and scapegoating.

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.
