BRS: A great place to learn; but long hours, lots tech/systems, and by no means a pathway into portfolio management - Vice President BlackRock Employee Review

Pros

Smart people, very detail oriented, lots of responsibility for recent grads and young professionals. Very competitive comp.

Cons

If you're a person with investment banking or pure asset management aspirations, BRS will not be the most direct route for you. The approach to learning about the market/industry is akin to learning a language one word at a time... Very bottom up, devil's in the details etc.
