Pros

Great health benefits, retirement contributions, flexible time off

Cons

- Deeply rooted institutional racism that prevents black and brown communities from achieving success - Culture of favoritism - reminiscent of “in/out” crowd behavior that favors compliant white employees - Not a meritocracy - Extreme lack of trust and over indulgence on micromanagement. - HR does not adopt any of the policies / recommendations it pushes out to the business. - Below market pay - Fully aware of issues with no action plan to remedy RUN

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.
