Cons

Compensation is low compared to peer group. As a large corporation, it has a lot of inefficiency and politics. Sometimes, hard to figure out business reasons behind decision.

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.
