Pros

good work life balance and generally respectful organization for the industry. Generally well meaning senior leadership team, although it is of course predominately white men and it shows.

Cons

tons of projects that don't go anywhere. Difficult to assess how your work impacts the overall organization. Difficult to advance in San Francisco with very few leadership positions outside of NY. A lot of internal politics and gossip.

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.
