Pros

flexible working hours, good holiday policy (FTO) and great work life balance - they let you work from home, casual dress etc .

Cons

for all the flexibility, it is not the best place if you really want to be rewarded for your hard work. it might be a great place to work when you're a bit older and want to have children and get home by 5.30pm but not if you really want to kickstart your career

Pros

Branding branding branding!!! an incredible brand, and having it on your resume opens some doors but not all.

Cons

The Preqin acquisition never really found its identity after becoming part of BlackRock. It felt like the focus shifted from listening to clients to fitting Preqin into a broader BlackRock strategy. As AI changes how firms access and analyze private market data, simply being a data provider isn’t enough anymore. My impression was that Preqin’s long-term value is likely to come from being integrated into the broader Aladdin ecosystem and APIs, rather than remaining a standalone platform. Leadership would benefit from spending more time listening to customers and the teams on the front lines instead of assuming they already know what the market wants.
