Pros

Decent work, Not too focused on cost reduction by cutting perks available to employees

Cons

BlackRock acquired this Indian company and renamed it (added BUs later) to start their local operations. At least in 2013, the culture was heavily impacted by the Indian company as most of the senior employees from that company. There were times one would feel that is not even BlackRock given so much influence of these employees on everything and their different style of working.

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.
