Pros

No investment in people has created a senior management team based on tenure rather than skill. No strategic technology thinking has created a culture of band aid solutions

Cons

A 9000 person company with processes and attitudes more akin to a Mom and Pop store. If you are not in the NY HQ then you might as well not exist since all decisions are made there. Really, just not a nice place to work!

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.
