Pros

Big firm, very impressive on your CV. But that's it!oh and great location..

Cons

After merger of BLK, you work long amount of hours and no appreciation of your hard work. Bonuses and pay were below average and the culture died. Management focused more on reeling in New business as opposed to keeping great talent that walked out along with the best all time CEO'S in BGI history, Justin Wood & Morry Waked!

Pros

Work can be very interesting, impactful, and everybody is (mostly) very kind and intelligent. They don't hire dumb people.

Cons

Truly insane there is no free food or drinks. Culture feels very stiff and sterile despite not being particularly formal. Hard to get a raise or promoted. If your business has a bad executive, your whole world suffers. Can be extremely relationship based in bad ways.
