      Pros

      Looks good on resume (no idea why)

      Cons

      - Horribly behind on IT - Very little innovation - Everything politically challenged/ego driven - Assembly line org charts (internally called laughing squid model where one person who manages one person who manages one person who manages one person who manages one person) - No transparency on compensation, promotions, ratings, business model, nothing. - Killed all the reasons why people joined BGI.

      Pros

      Plenty of opportunity to work on project teams. Lots of exposure to senior leaders in HR and the businesses. Great collaboration in the One BlackRock spirit. Benefits to support employees and their families are good.

      Cons

      Workload can be challenging at times. However, you are gaining a lot of new skills in a short prior of time and the ability to work with leaders is worth it.
