Pros
I’m sure it depends on your group, but I had an amazing experience working here. From the outside looking in it can be daunting to be surrounded by so many smart, driven and ambitious people. BlackRock expects high performers and will only recruit top talent. However, everyone that I’ve been fortunate enough to meet and interact with have been nothing short of kind, supportive and helpful. I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to work here and will the team that I worked with. I would easily come back to the organization for the right opportunity.
BLK really emphasizes the employee experience and I felt that the benefits and total rewards were great, it’s a really collaborative environment, most people you interact with are kind but bold and driven, they strive for excellence and push you to succeed
Cons
I left the organization to move into another function outside of administration. I think having a helpful metric for admins to meet and strive for would be helpful if the employee shows an aptitude for another area of the business. It’s disheartening to find that there isn’t a professional track outside of administration the same way there is for other areas of the business. This isn’t a unique problem to BlackRock either.
