Pros

Great culture full of good people. The firm is protective of the culture and hires people that make it a non-toxic place to work in finance. Heavy investment in team building and morale. Great work life balance and WFH flexibility, including summer work from anywhere weeks.

Cons

For a starting career in finance, you could be compensated higher on the sell side than starting out at BlackRock. But, what you lose in initial compensation is more than made up for by having the BlackRock name on your resume. After 2-3 years as an analyst, the world becomes your oyster.

Pros

1. The executive leaders in the firm are doing a great job 2. Many people in the firm genuinely have a sense of pride working there 3. The (base) compensation is compatible with the market; bonus, however, is another story. 4. For the first ten years of my career in the firm, I made some great memories and made some great friends.

Cons

The culture of my organization started to shift away from a sensible approach and career nurturing to a hostile and confrontational one around 2 years ago. In several all-hands meetings, we were chastised for being "too nice" and were made clear that things would change. The anonymous feedback in the meetings was cut short or eliminated entirely because it didn’t paint a positive picture. In the last 2 years, 1. I was often asked and expected to answer, "Now.. what can you do for me?" in my 1:1 with my latest manager. 2. I was reminded more than once that English is my second language 3. I was reminded more than once by the manager that I should not speak during the meetings I was invited to because they weren’t in the right timing or not appropriate to the subject being discussed during the time There were many of these examples in the last two years with the firm that just seemed inconceivable; nevertheless, I had a great ride and met some genuine people that I consider friends even today.
