Pros

Good culture, supportive team, decent work

Cons

Very slow growth, US folks get priority for promotion since they sit next to the boss, below market pay, 4 days in office is non negotiable, also started stressing on spending 7-8 hours in office so can’t leave early and take calls from home, very little flexibility

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.
