Pros

Nothing positive to say at all

Cons

Highly political organization. You will only receive a promotion if you are liked by seniors. Organization plays favorites. Promotions have nothing to do with performance. Decisions are only made by executives and leaders instill fear in employees. Inexperienced Directors and Managing Directors. New York office is terrible culture. San Francisco culture is much better. A lot of great ideas came from BGI and were implemented at BlackRock. BlackRock never valued diversity and inclusion and committees such as the OUT network and WIN. It never existed or were embraced before BGI merger.

Pros

decent pay and good name drop to add to your experience and resume

Cons

everything!! since this was a contract role I was brought in to complete a project with 0 leadership or direction. I was left to figure out everything completely on my own from finding a computer and a desk and a phone to figuring out who to contact in India etc to help me revamp the entire global website on the backend. I literally had to show up to work everyday at least an hour early so that I could possibly try to find a open desk sometimes I had to work on the floor or find somewhere in the lunchroom I could set up in the corner this went on for over a month.
