Pros

- Good medical benefits - Really smart people at the firm - Unlimited time off

Cons

- You are treated by your hierarchy level (Analyst > Associate > Vice President > Director > Managing Director) rather than as a human and employee of the company. Most analysts are snobbed/ treated as unimportant because of their level. - BlackRock gives multiple trainings to People Managers but most of them are still toxic. Had many folks leave due to this and that was the main reason I left. - Long work hours cause you are are salary based and not hourly based. You find yourself working about 13hours everyday and some teams would ask for more. - You’re given unlimited time off but rarely allowed to use it cause there is always SOO much work to do. - Huge politics in promotion and growing your career at the firm.

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.
