Mixed; not like the Barclays Global Investors firm I joined - Systems Engineer BlackRock Employee Review

Surrounded by top talent, Lots of opportunities for career growth

Large organization, so decision-making and processes can sometimes move more slowly than in smaller firms.

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.

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.
