Pros

Good compensation and name recognition among peers. Benefits are ok. Work/life balance was good, but as others mentioned, definitely depends on the group.

Cons

Middle management is out to save their own hides. There is no career pathing or feedback that is constructive. Your reviews are regurgitated comments from your self-appraisal back to you. The one exception is things to work on. They love to point those out at review time, but when regular meetings are done, there is no mention of areas of improvement, only "keep up the good work". There was no training at all, just a "here is your desk, good luck". There is no culture or team. Everyone learns to look out for #1 and use others for their own advancement.

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.
