Pros

The company benefits and employee engagement was amazing. I had amazing coworkers and met a lot of talented and knowledgeable people.

Cons

The management is terrible and there were many people who had 10 plus years at Blackrock who chose to leave due to it. The middle managers micro manage and the directors do not take employee complaints seriously. There was one manager who literally had 4 out of her 8 team members leave in a span of 6 months and nothing was done at a senior level.

Pros

Branding branding branding!!! an incredible brand, and having it on your resume opens some doors but not all.

Cons

The Preqin acquisition never really found its identity after becoming part of BlackRock. It felt like the focus shifted from listening to clients to fitting Preqin into a broader BlackRock strategy. As AI changes how firms access and analyze private market data, simply being a data provider isn’t enough anymore. My impression was that Preqin’s long-term value is likely to come from being integrated into the broader Aladdin ecosystem and APIs, rather than remaining a standalone platform. Leadership would benefit from spending more time listening to customers and the teams on the front lines instead of assuming they already know what the market wants.
