Pros

Large processing machine. Does passive like no other AM on the planet. Great brand which they invest in Larry is great but should be more involved in the business. He doesn't see everything.

Cons

Schlocky active business and cannot do Alts. Paranoid culture focused on protecting its passive business. All business decisions centred in NYC among a few people making it hard to get things done.

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.
