Pros

Brand name. Big platform. Good work-life balance. The good people can be very good and affect your experience positively.

Cons

The bad people can really break your experience here. Hugely political. Popularity contest. Cares more about perception than doing the actual work and competence. People are backstabbers. In a conflict, if the two parties have slightly different rank, the higher the rank a person is, the more weights his/her words has regardless of the truth. Pay is below industry average.

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.
