Pros

-BLK offers a wide array of opportunities for learning on the job. -Hours are in line with any other financial services job, (the occasional long evening or weekend). -Coworkers are always willing to help or explain a problem.

Cons

- Salary is subpar compared to the industry - More management training is needed. Various middle managers have disgraceful interpersonal behavior and strong negativity. - Decisions are not open for discussion, its a "my way or the highway" atmosphere.

Pros

Lots of client exposure Learning unique products Aladdin

Cons

Too much politics in the team. Nobody stays for more than 2 years. Also they like you as long as you do their job. The moment you ask for a raise or a change they immediately intentionally make your life difficult
