Pros

Good work-life balance via leaves the company offers Good employee benefits like insurance, cab and food Brand name probably

Cons

BlackRock India is totally different from BlackRock global . BlackRock India is run by some hypocrite managers who has double standards. They tend to take things personally and doesn't heed much to the welfare of their people. I won't be wrong to call some managers as tyrants and company seems to love them. They talk ill and rude to subordinates and treat them disrespectfully. Workload is often too much in comparison to the pay on offer. Some teams may be relaxed. BlackRock India employees are discriminated by UK, US and employees from other regions. IF you have foreign counterparts then most often you will be doing leftover housekeeping tasks, they will keep the good work for themselves. Also, BlackRock preaches manager as a coach and they have policies against harassment and bullying but most often many people have been seen to leave company due to these things. Last, the company has very poor increments record. Overall, the culture of company is being driven by a select few and they have made it pathetic at present.

Pros

1. The executive leaders in the firm are doing a great job 2. Many people in the firm genuinely have a sense of pride working there 3. The (base) compensation is compatible with the market; bonus, however, is another story. 4. For the first ten years of my career in the firm, I made some great memories and made some great friends.

Cons

The culture of my organization started to shift away from a sensible approach and career nurturing to a hostile and confrontational one around 2 years ago. In several all-hands meetings, we were chastised for being "too nice" and were made clear that things would change. The anonymous feedback in the meetings was cut short or eliminated entirely because it didn’t paint a positive picture. In the last 2 years, 1. I was often asked and expected to answer, "Now.. what can you do for me?" in my 1:1 with my latest manager. 2. I was reminded more than once that English is my second language 3. I was reminded more than once by the manager that I should not speak during the meetings I was invited to because they weren’t in the right timing or not appropriate to the subject being discussed during the time There were many of these examples in the last two years with the firm that just seemed inconceivable; nevertheless, I had a great ride and met some genuine people that I consider friends even today.
