Pros

Health Benefits are extensive and include everything you could want. Fertility benefits are good but there is a 3 year clawback if you use them (meaning you could have to pay the company back for what you use if you leave within 3 years of using the benefit). I liked my peers and I am glad I have the brand name on my resume.

Cons

I worked here for years, several pre pandemic and after pandemic. The entire experience looking back was like one big manic episode. Everyone around me was constantly panicked, my adrenaline was always pumping. I was exhausted and stopped having hobbies. I stopped going to the doctor because if I left my desk I would get calls back to back. I worked 7-11 and every vacation and then we still were asked to hire more more more. To get anything simple done here is a mammoth effort. Nearly every hiring manager I worked with was not well. Their teams were depleted and headcount was such a fight they had been working themselves to the bone responding to the same types of panic I felt in my role.

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.
