      Great learning experience, not a meritocracy

      Pros

      Blackrock is a name company, there is a lot to learn, the pay is good. You can have a long career with Blackrock or leave after a few years with some solid experience and a big name on your resume. Either way you are in good shape.

      Cons

      Blackrock is not a meritocracy. The corporate culture, the promotion structure, the opportunities that come your way - it is all a matter of who you know, who is advocating for you and who knows you exist. If someone higher up gains an unfavorable opinion of you, your opportunities for advancement are cut off. As with most large companies, rather that learn the whole business, you act as a cog in the machine.
