Pros

BlackRock as a whole is an excellent company with great culture. I would happily work in any other department of BlackRock - senior people are approachable, projects actually get finished and are very interesting, and salary and benefits are great.

Cons

Working as an ACS analyst was the worst experience of my life; the job was completely mis-sold as a technical consultancy, whereas in fact it is a call centre. Tickets and phone calls are all you will do in ACS, and management actively micro-manage every client email you send, and then rank you against your peers to try and promote competition. The culture is toxic, the work hours long and as a result people turn on each other frequently. DO NOT WORK IN ACS IF YOU HAVE ANY SELF RESPECT.

Pros

Lots of client exposure Learning unique products Aladdin

Cons

Too much politics in the team. Nobody stays for more than 2 years. Also they like you as long as you do their job. The moment you ask for a raise or a change they immediately intentionally make your life difficult
