BlackRock reviews

Lack of any real core management. Extremely political organization. Senior Managers act like high school students who gossip all day and speak badly about their staff. They often praise the slackers and chastise the hard workers which makes absolutely no sense. If you do not small talk with them you are interpreted as not being a team player. They have a "clique" formed and it's very clear they have favorites. Nothing is EVER kept confidential. Once you bring an issue to your dept HR rep they in turn call your manager immediately and gossip about the situation rather than actually representing HUMAN RESOURCES. They buddy up with your managers and are chummy to one another so you employees are either left to deal with the situation themselves by “leaving” or you are told to “develop a backbone”. I've heard things spoken about other employees within the dept that one should NEVER hear. But again, lack of confidentiality and real management. Since I've been here I've yet to meet someone that is truly happy or satisfied. Moral is extremely low as staff is overworked to the bones. I refuse for any job to make me feel like I should brown nose in order to get recognized. I'm a hard worker and a team player who efficiently works. This organization is completely unprofessional. The brand holds more weight than needed. Technology is not up to par due to the constant growth but I’d deal with slow technology than idiotic managers who seem to have no real experience.

Working there was a horrible. Specifically worked under the Aladdin Tech Group as a BA. You are brainwashed into thinking that your sacrifice in time and efforts are a given but are worth it. You are expected to do 24 hrs of work in 12 hrs time so you end up in office past 12am. You think you are working so that you can move forward but you will be thrown under the bus in a blink of an eye. People will use you and step on you to further their own agendas. There is no support, no foundation. There is no merit based rewards. It is never enough. I was brainwashed so badly into thinking that it was normal to dedicate myself to work that my body broke down. My mind didnt realized it wasn't right. As an otherwise healthy 25 year old, I managed to develop shingles. My doctor told me it was from stress as it usually is something that only the really old or really young gets. Pay wasn't even good enough for me to say that it was worth it. Even on good years, there was never more than 5-9% bonus. Run away.
