Pros

You receive solid compensation, great benefits, and respect from those within the industry.

Cons

The environment is stale, there is very little creativity and innovation, community or collaboration. You are expected to work hard and create value for the company (understandable) however, there isn't an acceptance of upper management to grow their associates into the next leaders. Also, organizational changes have been occurring frequently and without notice. What "makes sense" to upper management, still doesn't make sense to the individuals who are actually involved in the re-orgs.

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.
