Pros

work-life balance, benefits, it seems that internal mobility is easier compared to other companies in the same field.

Cons

Decisions can be slow partly due to managers not taking strong decisions when needed and always looking for consensus in everything which is not always the most efficient way for bringing things forward. Quite bureaucratic with too many teams and people to involve for the most basic decisions.

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.
