Pros

Biggest investment manager in the world. Nice name on the resume. Good to start a career in early twenties. You will get the responsibility if you ask for it.

Cons

Worst to work if you have a family. Very long hours and unrealistic expectations. No team sense. Very individualistic employees competing for the yearly bonus. Lots of back talking.

Pros

BlackRock hires at the best schools, exposes its employees to real issues for solution and will pay well for performance. The national and global footprint provides the potential for some interesting transfer locations.

Cons

Much too much time in meetings/video-conferences! Then manager personality and non-business issues intrude into these meetings, leading to a reluctance to speak up and contribute to the "crowd-sourcing" that is supposed to be the point to the number of meeting participants to begin with.
