What worked for the boutique isn't working so well now - Director BlackRock Employee Review

Incompetent 3rd/4th tier management that has survived from Old BlackRock is unpleasant to work with and generally inferior to their BGI peers. Work/Life balance is a complete joke. Weekends are expected consistently. No night is too late. Technology (supposedly a forte) is ironically dated with no serious plans to change or make any serious investments Senior management are increasingly at odds. Many times, one can only pick the senior MD that you think will win the argument and hope for the best.
