BlackRock reviews

Generic long hours but to be honest it's nothing to complain about..if you are working in finance at a tier firm you will be working them regardless. I actually like the fact that the firm is growing but not hiring at a mass pace (the IBs mass hire during bulls and then do massive lay offs..something they've already done to do at the end of this bull).

-Bonuses are terrible, even though the company has made record profits last year. If you are accepting a job here, negotiate your base salary, because they will not deliver the bonuses they promise. I was told to expect a 25% minimum bonus, actual bonuses have been <15% for the past few years. Raises are negligible, either flat or 1-2%. If you are not front office, don't expect to get any share of those record profits. - Work Life balance is supposedly a priority but you will be expected to work long hours and you will probably not be able to use your vacation time. Working remotely is looked down upon, even though you probably will be able to get more done at home because the computer you are given in the office is probably a decade old.
