Great work life balance, pay band is on the higher end, smart people to work with, interesting domain funds management.

Career advancement can be challenging from the Sydney office due to its satellite nature. Employees may have limited exposure to senior leaders and decision-makers, making it harder to build the recognition often required for promotion and leadership opportunities.

Pros

Plenty of opportunity to work on project teams. Lots of exposure to senior leaders in HR and the businesses. Great collaboration in the One BlackRock spirit. Benefits to support employees and their families are good.

Cons

Workload can be challenging at times. However, you are gaining a lot of new skills in a short prior of time and the ability to work with leaders is worth it.
