      Great Reputation - Different Cultures

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      BlackRock seems to value its people on a personal level, with management showing flexibility around day to day schedules so long as necessary work is done well

      Cons

      Sometimes the pathway to promotion is not clear, and it seems that people at the same title can be paid very differently.

      Hey...it could have been worse.

      Software developer (intern)
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Decent pay (for interns; from what I saw, salaries for new analysts are pretty much at market) - Nice perks - Great location - Good name for resume building

      Cons

      - Very stressful environment - Unsupportive management (see the first point) - Very hard to pick up anything on your own (not a good idea to join outside of "intern season") - Equally difficult to make a discernable difference as an intern. - Old technologies (including the software being sold) - In-house solutions for everyday general software (IM, application management, etc) pale in comparison to market-proven technologies.

      Pros

      -Flat organizational culture -Good Benefits -Biggest firm in the industry -Worked with all levels of management even if you are just an analyst

      Cons

      They are so focus right now on generating double-digit growth that it could come back to bite them and their employees when they don't reach it every quarter.
