Pros

BlackRock is a reputatable and world largest asset manager. - insurance cover is amazing - lots of company events - good for learning and knowledge is everywhere - Big company name and software. Good for the next job. - Lick the boots work here as long as you are good at it. - Good for new graduates. Learn, thank and move on.

Cons

- Salary is lower than market for ops and tech. - HR almost does not exist unable something bad happens. - Meritocracy is oversold. It's all about networking and getting into your manager's book. - Overworked. Even though there is a unlimited leave policy, people are afraid to take leave. Managers make you feel threatened or guilt thread whenever you are away. - A lot of social groups and events. But if I don't get on your manager's book, they assumed you are too free to join these events even though they are done outside work hours. - noticed that there are a lot of possibility fake reviews here to make the company look better than it is. Be aware. - HQ is US, decisions are make in US and UK. Asia offices are followers. Voice always unheard.

Pros

Lots of client exposure Learning unique products Aladdin

Cons

Too much politics in the team. Nobody stays for more than 2 years. Also they like you as long as you do their job. The moment you ask for a raise or a change they immediately intentionally make your life difficult
