Pros

Some members of senior management truly care about the employees as human beings and go out of their way to help when they can

Cons

There are some managers who engage in abusive and openly discriminatory conduct. Senior management does not seem to be able to stop them given the length of their tenure at the firm and how deeply embedded they are in regular processes as a result

Pros

Branding branding branding!!! an incredible brand, and having it on your resume opens some doors but not all.

Cons

The Preqin acquisition never really found its identity after becoming part of BlackRock. It felt like the focus shifted from listening to clients to fitting Preqin into a broader BlackRock strategy. As AI changes how firms access and analyze private market data, simply being a data provider isn’t enough anymore. My impression was that Preqin’s long-term value is likely to come from being integrated into the broader Aladdin ecosystem and APIs, rather than remaining a standalone platform. Leadership would benefit from spending more time listening to customers and the teams on the front lines instead of assuming they already know what the market wants.
