      Great Ride While it Lasted. Getting Rocky as Company is Restructuring. Hold On!

      Pros

      Depending on the dept, they give healthy bonus but the salary is not competitive and raises are minimal. Good, recognizable, reputable company to put on your resume. They do hire best of breed talent and you will work with smart people but do not expect a life outside of work. Their motto, "One BlackRock" is becoming like the big financial corporations out there with lots of red tape to get things done. They are loosing sight on how they started off.

      Cons

      There are are clicks and you need to be in the senior management click to get recognized and promoted. If you're a worker bee and quiet, you will be looked over and will be given work no one wants to do. They promote work/life balance but expect you to do the work of 3 people so I question the validity of that statement.

      Pros

      Some smart people BlackRock seems to be a winner in the marketplace If you are a good performer, there is job security Pay, although I suspect it is skewed heavily in favor of the old guard

      Cons

      Incompetent 3rd/4th tier management that has survived from Old BlackRock is unpleasant to work with and generally inferior to their BGI peers. Work/Life balance is a complete joke. Weekends are expected consistently. No night is too late. Technology (supposedly a forte) is ironically dated with no serious plans to change or make any serious investments Senior management are increasingly at odds. Many times, one can only pick the senior MD that you think will win the argument and hope for the best.
