BlackRock – “Great place to say you work, but experience highly depends on your group”

Pros

BlackRock is a great place to tell people you work at. The pay is good and benefits are standard. It is the place to be in this difficult market time.

Cons

Longer hours, high stress at times, people are uptight. Office locations (outside of nyc) are not the best and offer little amenities. People think they are more important than they really are. Some managers belittle employees and blame you for things that were not your fault.

Advice to Senior Management

C-suite management is doing a great job. Other MD's could improve by being less uptight and less concerned with following bureaucratic procedures. There can be too much focus on things that really do not matter like cc'ing one person too many on an email.
