Pros

The money can be quite good and if you work on a project that has good support you'll have something good to put on your resume.

Cons

Secretive and clubby. A lot of them started when BlackRock was small so they talk among themselves. They don't appear to have realized just yet that their current merger makes NYC the third largest office now instead of the first.

Pros

BLK has earned a tremendous reputation in the industry, and has an extraordinarily dedicated and competent management team to steer it through economic crises. It prides itself on on having a single unified culture, and while that is nowhere near being true, it's still rather aspirational.

Cons

Praise and performance feedback are just not the name of the game here. Be prepared to work grueling hours for very little reward. Comp package is pretty standard for the industry - not too low, not too high.
