Pros

You’re given a fair amount of independence, and if you’re skilled in a particular area, you’ll have the opportunity to shine and focus on work you genuinely enjoy without too many constraints. That said, IT management was largely non-technical and often just followed instructions from above. If you have strong ideas, don’t hesitate to take them a few levels higher, as your immediate manager may be hesitant to present them.

Cons

The company leans a bit too heavily into “woke” culture, with mandatory trainings that sometimes feel unnecessary and difficult to complete alongside regular responsibilities.

Pros

Branding branding branding!!! an incredible brand, and having it on your resume opens some doors but not all.

Cons

The Preqin acquisition never really found its identity after becoming part of BlackRock. It felt like the focus shifted from listening to clients to fitting Preqin into a broader BlackRock strategy. As AI changes how firms access and analyze private market data, simply being a data provider isn’t enough anymore. My impression was that Preqin’s long-term value is likely to come from being integrated into the broader Aladdin ecosystem and APIs, rather than remaining a standalone platform. Leadership would benefit from spending more time listening to customers and the teams on the front lines instead of assuming they already know what the market wants.
