Pros
Free 3 time decent meals.
Free cab services with spacious cab and efficient routing.
Great culture and employee centricity across blackrock.
Cons
The work environment in the Investment Operations post-trade clearing, settlement, collateral team has become very difficult. Directors frequently follow employees to cafeterias. They forced one-on-one conversations, often creating insecurity by emphasizing AI-driven workforce reductions.
Leaders intentionally schedules catch up during team lunch time.
Excessive pressure and constant oversight are affecting employee morale, performance, and contributing to production issues.
Employees are often expected to work 11–12 hour due to late-night U.S. overlap meetings which significantly impacts work-life balance.
Many team members are waiting for hiring conditions to improve so they can leave the team.
BlackRock is a great organization, but avoid joining post-trade projects.
Recently, many VPs from India left the team due to these concerns.
