Pros

- top notch resources, systems, support, pretty much the only target as a PM there is to deliver alpha - very talented investment professionals, with strong track records across strategies - amazing culture and team-work / collaborative spirit, not only on a team level but also on a division / cross division level - One BlackRock really works in practice and not only on paper - ability to take very decent risk as a PM - although that depends on what team you are on - a lot of perks

Cons

- bureauocracy, company is getting too big - promotion politics - compensation not tied enough with investment performance

Pros

Branding branding branding!!! an incredible brand, and having it on your resume opens some doors but not all.

Cons

The Preqin acquisition never really found its identity after becoming part of BlackRock. It felt like the focus shifted from listening to clients to fitting Preqin into a broader BlackRock strategy. As AI changes how firms access and analyze private market data, simply being a data provider isn’t enough anymore. My impression was that Preqin’s long-term value is likely to come from being integrated into the broader Aladdin ecosystem and APIs, rather than remaining a standalone platform. Leadership would benefit from spending more time listening to customers and the teams on the front lines instead of assuming they already know what the market wants.
