Pros

Had a few few years with BLK but all those started with me all left as they had ENOUGH.

Cons

Salary below Market Rate. Employee has to pay for the name to be on their CV Work Life balance was a nightmare... even when you had to take off for family reason, you still will be contacted to do some work HR only think about the business --- HR stands for Hardly Relevant Manager was very rude and had complaints addressed to HR... But all left the BAD stayed

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.
