Pros

Amazing, friendly work culture, company always encourages you and supports you with developing yourself, learning new skills and everybody around you is there to help. In every office I've been, I've always felt very welcomed. Structure is relatively flat and very often you don't even realise you are chatting with Director or MD. BlackRock also supports internal mobility so if you want to, you can have completely new job every few years.

Cons

I believe compensations should be better, especially that BlackRock competes in Tech industry with brands like Google.

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.
