Pros

- Good Benefits (401K match, tuition remibursement, health club reimbursement, etc.) - Somewhat stable in the present economic environment - Good name on the resume

Cons

- Absolutely no career growth. Promotions are in name only. You can stay with the company for 5 years and basically do the exact same job. - In some departments there is a culture of "Just Get it Done" without thinking of the downstream effect. This will lead to many late/stressful nights cleaning up messes. - Incompetent middle manangement. Amateur HR department.

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.
