Pros

Very competitive pay versus other companies in DE. Surrounded by very knowledgable colleagues. But many are two faced. Most people act like your friends but everyone is out to step all over you in order to get ahead.

Cons

YOu will have to say goodbye to your family. Once you join blackrock you will have absolutely NO work/life balance. Just get ready to sacrifice the next 5 - 10 years of your life and work 12 hour days. During interview they will avoid this question about "how many hours/day will you work?" Once you come on board its leave at 8pm and come in 8am or else. Stay away from Holiday.

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.
