Pros

The compensation is very good Some great coworkers

Cons

This is the worst computer I have ever used for work. Everyone seems to be having tech problems Returning to the office is awful. We're a global company so the office is mostly people commuting into an office to do video calls. Many people don't have any in-person meetings. The office itself is loud and unpleasant. There are no amenities. Leadership does not seem to understand or care. The company is so large that when there are problems, people throw their hands up in the air and say, "I guess there's nothing we can do"

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.
