BlackRock reviews

Management. No matter how hard they try, they can't seem to figure out how to put the correct people in management roles. Unfortunately, they make two common mistakes. The managers either are home grown with so many priorities on their plate they have limited band width to mentor their staffs or, they hire from the outside and these managers lack the understanding of the culture to be effective. To add to this misfortune, BlackRock is not good about reacting to credible feedback. Even when employees provide professional, documented feedback, little to no action to replace the bad managers is taken. While the HR department has some well papered leadership, these problems are not something they believe require the appropriate attention.

- pay is below industry average - although the firm PRs its friendly culture, it really is hierarchical - your boss won't care about your personal goals, thus you won't have a real career here - a lot of people working here are massively underqualified
