Pros

Great culture full of good people. The firm is protective of the culture and hires people that make it a non-toxic place to work in finance. Heavy investment in team building and morale. Great work life balance and WFH flexibility, including summer work from anywhere weeks.

Cons

For a starting career in finance, you could be compensated higher on the sell side than starting out at BlackRock. But, what you lose in initial compensation is more than made up for by having the BlackRock name on your resume. After 2-3 years as an analyst, the world becomes your oyster.

Pros

Management responds to some of the complaints

Cons

Typical bait and switch. Descriptions for the roles much loftier than actual function. Job requires very low level tasks that are not building transferable skills
