Pros

BlackRock seems to value its people on a personal level, with management showing flexibility around day to day schedules so long as necessary work is done well

Cons

Sometimes the pathway to promotion is not clear, and it seems that people at the same title can be paid very differently.

Pros

business is growing very fast after several big merge. The company actually benefited a lot from the financial crisis with the risk management system. The company has several round of layoffs, but it is relatively stable.

Cons

The compensation is very low compared with the other firms. The argument managers use is low risk with low return. Even though it is a buy-side firm, it has long working hours and is very stressful.
