Pros

Investment teams are very strong

Cons

Very much dependent on the part of the organization within which you work. Too political in non investment teams. Career progression is based on networking and who you know rather than competence. It is particularly a difficult place to work as a woman or minority as, despite lots of lip service, in most teams there is still a very male dominated culture. To be avoided if you are a VP or Director and a minority.

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.
