Pros

BlackRock is a good company to build career for talented and dedicated professionals. They value innovative ideas, smart, ambitious and aggressive individuals can have a great career progress. Senior management, though super busy, usually approachable, when they have time. I believe BlackRock treats people with respect. Overall, it's a good company to work for.

Cons

The worst issue working at BlackRock is it's a sweatshop. Project time-lines are too aggressive and people are expected to put in late nights and often week-ends to get things over the dead line, and it happens all the time.

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.
