      Pros

      -Strong executive leadership that makes consistent effort to foster a healthy culture focused on client service and innovation -Generally, most at BlackRock are intelligent, talented, committed, and work together to support clients and their coworkers -Support for charitable giving and volunteerism is strong

      Cons

      -Leadership skills at the division level (MD) are inconsistent and your direct manager defines your experience at BlackRock. -Pay lags the market so be cautious about staying too long. -Technology architecture behind Aladdin is antiquated and it is difficult to obtain support for change due to lack of programming resources -Lack of diversity beyond the VP level -Difficult and complex promotion process at the Director and MD level -Bureaucratic

      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.
