Pros

While growing larger each year it still retains the entrepreneurial spirit of a young company. The name looks great on the resume and business card. Great benefits. Employees are very intelligent and very pleasant to wok with.

Cons

There is little commitment to work/life balance, too many times 'help/training' comes in the form of "here's a place to start" and much of the training tends to be very high level while the knowledge needs to be very granular (for both employees and clients).

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.
