Pros

Most people are nice except for my boss

Cons

My boss is the worst. She is super micromanaging, talks you down all the time, doesn't give constructive feedback and doesn't promote work life balance. She doesn't care about the good work that you did and only focuses on your negative sides or only looks at how late you stay at work (she herself doesn't ever leave her desk, even during lunch, so you feel bad for taking lunch break). My worst decision ever to join this firm.

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.
