Pros

Decent work, Not too focused on cost reduction by cutting perks available to employees

Cons

BlackRock acquired this Indian company and renamed it (added BUs later) to start their local operations. At least in 2013, the culture was heavily impacted by the Indian company as most of the senior employees from that company. There were times one would feel that is not even BlackRock given so much influence of these employees on everything and their different style of working.

Pros

Varied and broad product set across multiple asset classes as well as technology solutions platform through Aladdin. Can have genuine open discussions with clients about any investment types. Good team culture individuals are genuinely willing to help you navigate the firm. I have moved teams internally three times and really enjoyed working with everyone in each of these teams.

Cons

Can be difficult to navigate without a good personal network. High pressured environment, can be very competitive. Generally under pay relative to market.
