Pros
Great place to learn, well respected firm but do not expect a long term career there, shareholders are much more important than employees.
Cons
If you are a good politician you will succeed at BlackRock, if you are interested in putting your head down and working hard you are in the wrong place. You will continually see people promoted who kiss up and deliver zero value. If you have a contrasting point of view from management, don't speak up unless you are looking to be ostracized. Pay is terrible compared to the rest of the street, they are well aware of a strong perception outside the walls and won't think twice about reminding you that someone will take your seat if you don't want it.
