Pros

BlackRock has a great work/life balance. Management is usually very understanding of family needs, vacations and they even allow you to work from different offices if need be. They have great benefits including the 401k contribution as well as an additional contribution at the end of the year, outsource a free service that will help to save you time and research anything you or your family could need, emergency childcare services, great materity/paternity time off.

Cons

It is not as easy to transfer within the company as was alluded to upon being hired. The pay is not as comparable as other companies offer, but the name you are able to put on the resume is priceless.

Pros

Plenty of opportunity to work on project teams. Lots of exposure to senior leaders in HR and the businesses. Great collaboration in the One BlackRock spirit. Benefits to support employees and their families are good.

Cons

Workload can be challenging at times. However, you are gaining a lot of new skills in a short prior of time and the ability to work with leaders is worth it.
