Pros

A lot to be learned and a lot to do, if you are lucky to have a manager who enables you.

Cons

- The job description didn't reflect the actual job - the concept of the position given during the interview doesn't exist in reality, it's their idealized version of what the job is - No support, proper training from the local offices, mostly arrogant and condescending colleagues - Transition from the UK/US reflects the lack of processes -Not able to consider new ideas or input, "it's always been done this way" attitude - Old, slow and inadequate systems that do not, in any way, allow you to do your job properly - Management doesn't take in consideration your point of view, either positive or in the form of constructive criticism - Depending on the team, you will not be able to take advantage of the unlimited holidays - No flexibility, no work from home

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.
