Pros

Midtown location. Salary. Dedication of co-workers.

Cons

I can only speak for the technology team. Members of management were promoted without proper qualifications (or training) during the BGI acquisition. Management structure has become "fat", and ineffective....synonymous to an Administrative Assistant in an Managing Director role. There is a large gap between management and their subordinates.

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.
