Pros

- Exposure to a large financial institution and all of the products and clients that come with it. - One of the best risk management system in the financial markets today. - Working for a truly global institution. - Excellent compensation packages for all levels employees. - Responsibility from the first day of employment. - Larry Fink is the most strategically aggressive CEO on Wall Street today.

Cons

- Could be compared to working at the US Government with how much red tape is strung around the place now. When I started ingenuity was valued and encouraged. - Career progression does not exist. No exit opportunities. - Work / life balance is a joke. - When the individuals that created BlackRock start to retire I wonder what will be done to continue the success. After the MLIM acquisition there were so many zombies from Merrill that it ended up driving the effective managers to retirement or other companies.
