Pros

-Pay is on par with industry standard -Big name

Cons

-There are many different teams within PAG, but there is NO WAY for you to choose or at least know about the teams before you come. So you may end up in a team that you don't fit in. And certainly there are teams that are much worse than others in terms of culture and career prospect. -The work is really technical with heavy use of SQL, Unix, and Perl, and many of the processes involve Aladdin, the in-house tools BlackRock uses. So it's not really a finance job but rather a tech/data job, and the skill set you acquires is very limited, especially if you plan to move to another firm.

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.
