Pros

The people are smart, and encourage the summer interns to ask a lot of questions. The management is approachable and personable.

Cons

People work long hours. The summer I worked there was during the recession, so they did not pay overtime hours, even though we were unofficially encouraged to put in the additional hours.

Pros

BlackRock is the go to firm for investment management and risk analytics. It is a great name to have on one's resume. Beyond that, BlackRock is a great learning experience. Employees are sharp and willing to share knowledge. The firm is supportive of ethical behaviors and is increasingly encouraging non-profit involvement. The BGI transaction is opening doors to even more opportunities.

Cons

The hours are long. The perks are decreasing. The pay is ok. This is not only relative to BlackRock but rather to the industry as a whole in recession times.
