Pros

Good salary, benefits, training, attention to employee comforts. Fast rising culture if you aren't adverse to change of job function or location. Bonuses commeasurate with effort.

Cons

As a leading finance company, results dominate culture. Sometimes you can disappear among the work. Can be diificult to be expected to be independent and yet accountable. 110‰ is the minimum expected effort, can be frustrating. Work life balance can be tough. Bare employee space, can be on top of your neighbor's desk.

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.
