Pros

very bright, dedicated junior staff

Cons

Bright dedicated staff will be ground into the ground given no training or transferrable skills or any experience that could be marketable out side of Blackrock. Pay is fair but not amazing like an investment bank. Technology increasingly unstable, lots of being called in at all hours to support. Revenue keeps increasing but going directly into the pockets of about 5 guys who have been around for ever and need to be replaced. If you are smart young tech worker go write mobile apps or start your own firm. Beware of the Solutions Center job. It's a help desk. Resetting passwords.

Pros

Respectable company, working with smart people for the most people.

Cons

Huge company, can be hard to navigate, almost impossible to get fired so good workers pick up slack for bad works. They need to trim fat faster and better
