Pros

BlackRock is a good company to build career for talented and dedicated professionals. They value innovative ideas, smart, ambitious and aggressive individuals can have a great career progress. Senior management, though super busy, usually approachable, when they have time. I believe BlackRock treats people with respect. Overall, it's a good company to work for.

Cons

The worst issue working at BlackRock is it's a sweatshop. Project time-lines are too aggressive and people are expected to put in late nights and often week-ends to get things over the dead line, and it happens all the time.

Pros

Good camaraderie among the analyst class, but it's needed because the work is depressing and not what one is led to believe.

Cons

Awful work that doesn't lead anywhere.
