Pros

Clients have heard of the company. The AUM is huge. They have a massive product range. They have offices around the world.

Cons

Terrible management. Too many MD's. Hire & Fire. Larry Fink made 400 people redundant & paid himself $25m a year. Shows a real lack of integrity. Heard "Its just the way we do it" rather than the right way from management a hundred times. Experienced the worst line manager of a 20 year plus career. Nothing in writing, very poor listener. Clients thought he was out of his depth. Couldn't wait to get out!
