      Great place to say you work, but experience highly depends on your group

      Pros

      BlackRock is a great place to tell people you work at. The pay is good and benefits are standard. It is the place to be in this difficult market time.

      Cons

      Longer hours, high stress at times, people are uptight. Office locations (outside of nyc) are not the best and offer little amenities. People think they are more important than they really are. Some managers belittle employees and blame you for things that were not your fault.

      Pros

      As part of large organization, it provides ready support to meet objectives.

      Cons

      The company infrastructure needs much work. It is very frustrating to watch inefficiencies in multiple departments.

      Pros

      There are tremendous resources at BlackRock. Compared to other firms, every employee has the opportunity learn a lot. It is one of the rare companies where going above and beyond the call of duty yields more than just a bigger bonus. Job satisfaction, learning, ownership and responsibility are readily accessible even at the most junior positions. The strong team culture and infrastructure in place makes BlackRock a great place to work.

      Cons

      As with other similar jobs, hours are typically long. While management tries to boost morale by having regular team and firm-wide events, be prepared to give up some work/life balance in exchange for (albeit rewarding) career.
