Pros

Fair compensation. Decent benefits. Reputable company to have on one's resume.

Cons

As political, bureaucratic, cutthroat as it gets for a single company . The widely publicized attempts at improving diversity are all lip service. I work in a department in which not a single person of color was promoted in two years. As for work life balance, Blackrock culture encourages you to work to the bone so they can profit off what remains. Unlimited time off is merely a selling point that employees are terrified to ever use. They preach a meritocracy based system, but that is from the case.

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.
