Business Outlook
Pros
BlackRock is a dynamic company with an appealingly flat hierarchy - analysts have easy, convenient access to vice presidents and directors. The benefits and pay are attractive (although I don't know that they're any better than other NYC finance firms). There are occasional organized social activities, and the people are generally pleasant and motivated, easy to get along with.
Cons
The hours are quite long in my department, for the first year or two. It can make it feel like you don't have time to experience a whole lot outside of work. The work is demanding and sometimes tedious, but not unbearably so.
