Pros

I love the Midtown location and the proximity to Ponce City Market and the Atlanta Belt Line. The office is brand new with lots of collaborative space and accommodations for every employee. From an ethnic lens, the iHub is more visibly diverse than other offices and there are several employee networks or resource groups that have created a sense of belonging among like groups of employees. There's a huge commitment to the firm's purpose across every area of the business and leaders are incredibly philanthropic. There's frequent communications from senior leadership about the firm, the market, and the role employees play in all of it as well which is great. Mental and emotional health is prioritized by leadership and the benefits are stellar all around, especially ! It definitely feels like a safe place to be yourself and I am able to take my full self to work -- natural hair, nose piercings, tattoos and all. As a woman of color I don't feel like I have to cover and that alone makes the experience that much sweeter given the environment I transitioned from.

Cons

I don't like having to pay over $100/mo for parking to come to work.

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.
