Pros

If you want to work at a leading financial company then this is it, especially in the ETF space. Hey if not like they are Goldman Sacks, as they have a judiciary responsibility to invest your 410k money responsibly, and are not wheeler dealers.

Cons

Work is tough, and they have somewhat of a command and control work dynamic. All decisions are made in NY. If you want to be an influencer, take a position there.

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.
