Pros

unlimited days off. work life balance.

Cons

Every perk has a downfall. you can have work life balance but then you won't get anywhere. You get paid and promoted on your political and networking skills. They say diversity is everything but they don't know how to treat you if you are not a certain mold and match your boss. A certain type is critical. You need a senior sponsor to pull you up through the ranks, otherwise you will stay where you are forever.

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.
