Pros

Breadth of platform reduces career volatility. Solid compensation and benefits. BlackRock's size provides great access for resources.

Cons

Very little internal promotion. Director and MD positions have been filled primarily by external hires, which has been expensive and results questionable. Zero culture.

Pros

The senior managers are nice and appreciate what you do.

Cons

Junior level staff can be quite arrogant. Executive assistants that manage other assistants tend to be jealous and not very good Managers. Instead of appreciating a hard worker they try to discredit in fear of losing their job to them. Shameful. Reason for low score.

Culture has gone full reverse from what it once was, comp is being consistently squeezed and the environment has become very toxic.
