Great Experience But Lots of Unhappy People

Pros

Great funds, large asset manager and great training. Compensation is ok for some positions. Risk management approach is solid. Nice offices and lots of opportunities to volunteer. Good place to start career.

Cons

There is no work life balance, everyone is working 2-3 jobs. Founders of BlackRock and other leaders are paid well, but management does not have a generous approach to the rank and file - attitude is that everyone can be replaced.

Pros

- focusing on becoming be the biggest of all, WAY TOO GREEDY - Great salaries and bonus for the great top few. - lots of opportunity for women - well respect - good name in resume

Cons

- 99.99 % of employees are white, African Americans only at the administrated assistant levels. - almost impossible to move within departments. - Moving way too many jobs overseas. if promoted, the compensation increment may a be liability, not worth it. - it is a total SWEAT SHOP - not life balance at all. rather bring new employees from the outside than promoting from within.
