      World class asset management company with room to do even better - but your mileage as an employee may vary

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Average level of job competence at BlackRock seemed higher than at many other organisations I had worked, from who it was possible to learn a lot As a company, it had strong products across all major asset classes - bonds, equities, real estate and alternatives Senior management actually understand investing in financial markets, unlike many asset managers. This focus is reflected throughout the organisation

      Cons

      Seemed to be a perpetual disconnect between IT and the business Didn't seem to be good communication between certain groups and teams Integration of product groups which had been structurally separate seemed slow The UK business (ex MLIM) didn't seem to mesh all that whole-heartedly with the BlackRock culture

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Everyone is expected to roll their sleeves up and get their hands dirty. Hands-on environment allows the opportunity to learn a lot.

      Cons

      I found co-workers less than willing to show a new colleague the ropes, more like "here's where you can start to look" or "here's someone else you can ask about that".
