Pros

- focusing on becoming be the biggest of all, WAY TOO GREEDY - Great salaries and bonus for the great top few. - lots of opportunity for women - well respect - good name in resume

Cons

- 99.99 % of employees are white, African Americans only at the administrated assistant levels. - almost impossible to move within departments. - Moving way too many jobs overseas. if promoted, the compensation increment may a be liability, not worth it. - it is a total SWEAT SHOP - not life balance at all. rather bring new employees from the outside than promoting from within.

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.
