Pros

If you want to work at a leading financial company then this is it, especially in the ETF space. Hey if not like they are Goldman Sacks, as they have a judiciary responsibility to invest your 410k money responsibly, and are not wheeler dealers.

Cons

Work is tough, and they have somewhat of a command and control work dynamic. All decisions are made in NY. If you want to be an influencer, take a position there.

Pros

Decent Pay and benefits. You are given the basics of what you need to perform your job. There are additional educational possiblilties if you persue them. People are very knowlegeable here.

Cons

To me manangement seems not to care about the whole person, as long as I show up to work and do my time all is well. I've been told to succeed I must watch my email and pick up additional things on weekends, contrary to any work life balance that is talked about. Two huge companys are coming together and it's been a hard process of trying to merge 'legacy' operations into one Blackrock. I mentioned the pro of talented people, however its hard for all this talent to share. People are nose to the grindstone in most cases and too lost in their own work to look up and foster better interpersonal relationships.
