Invest largely in technology. Build tools that have large customer base. Build software for their daily use.

Not a place for tech-savvy people if they want to dress easy to work. Middle-paced comparing to other financial firms

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.
