Pros

- great name on your resume (but that is about it) - you get a general knowledge about financial markets and product - depending on position, you can get access to portfolio managers

Cons

- very poor career development/ it is better to know the right person than be the right person - incredibly long hours - compensation significantly below rest of the street - incompetent middle-level management

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.
