      Pros

      Very prominent in the financial industry

      Cons

      Employees are promoted too quickly into management, it's like a corporate ponzi scheme.

      Pros

      Great benefit package, competitive salary and bonus. Pretty cutting edge in term of technologies used and equipments given. Great people to work with. Friendly work place environment, great location.

      Cons

      Support structure a bit bureaucratic, it's hard to get things done quickly on the local level. Senior managers tends to micro manage and control every detail. Hard to innovate under very strict environment, rely on process too much and not enough trust given to people.

      Pros

      the Pay...that is really it now a days....

      Cons

      Work life balance is a joke at the new post merger BlackRock...and it's getting worse... Do more with less and do it longer and do it on the weekend...don't think smart...just work hard and for many hours... The new post merger BlackRock basically is consumed by politics, cost cutting and the bottom line at the expense of technology and people. they basically do not want their IT staff to be smart and work smart...they want you in the office...60 hours a week...waiting for something to happen.
