Pros

Great name to start your career

Cons

1) some managers are highly biased. due to lack of projects, people compete to gain projects, which includes backstabbing and gossips. 2) Exclusion and bullies happening in the team, while the manager & MD choose to blame the girl who is being bullied rather than protecting her from the bullies. 3) After promotion, my salary only increased 400 dollars per month.

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.
