Pros

- can give exposure to finance, but only if you are self-motivated and willing to do it on your own - great work life balance - relaxed life

Cons

- poor paymasters - this year we have literally 6-7% hike in India (I mean wtf?) - heavy politics, tenure and loyalty are rewarded more than actual work - not a tech firm, despite what they say - India is a low cost back office- despite what they say - no recognition for any work/innovation - management (both middle and top) have no ethics

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.
