Pros

You get a great professional network working here Industry leader Decent health insurance/401k options - free mental health support on the health plan regardless of whether you’ve met your deductible is a huge plus, very good 401k/ESPP options

Cons

Extremely difficult to get WFH Feels like time traveling back to 2017 in terms of lack of WFH options, cringey takes from senior leadership, and dated tech stack Pay subpar compared to industry High turnover Way too many meetings and lack of documentation

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.
