Pros

Smart people, but too conservative to really be a thought leader now.

Cons

No longer innovating, pushing active management junk on the market, trying to be everything to every client and at the same time paying literally no attention to the people that help make the business worth purchasing in the first place. If you stay there, you deserve each other.

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.
