Pros

Pay was decent but nowehere near an IB

Cons

Prett poor systems - Long working hours. Everyone kept talking about one blackrock systems. These are archaic and writen in really ancient languages that only one or two people could use. The systems would only work in IE6 (No firefox) and were slow!!!

Pros

Profitable company potential career opportunity if you are in the right department. Good support for clients. Very large company, good experience to have if just starting out.

Cons

Poor communication. Micro-management at all levels and very little independent thinking. Be prepared for criticism and agressive behavior in meetings. Global in geography but not in philosophy of people management.

Pros

They are successful at what they do. They truly promote from within. Nepotism at its finest!

Cons

Unless you have always been with BLK, you will always be treated as an outsider, with no voice.
