Pros

Very competitive pay versus other companies in DE. Surrounded by very knowledgable colleagues. But many are two faced. Most people act like your friends but everyone is out to step all over you in order to get ahead.

Cons

YOu will have to say goodbye to your family. Once you join blackrock you will have absolutely NO work/life balance. Just get ready to sacrifice the next 5 - 10 years of your life and work 12 hour days. During interview they will avoid this question about "how many hours/day will you work?" Once you come on board its leave at 8pm and come in 8am or else. Stay away from Holiday.

Pros

decent pay and good name drop to add to your experience and resume

Cons

everything!! since this was a contract role I was brought in to complete a project with 0 leadership or direction. I was left to figure out everything completely on my own from finding a computer and a desk and a phone to figuring out who to contact in India etc to help me revamp the entire global website on the backend. I literally had to show up to work everyday at least an hour early so that I could possibly try to find a open desk sometimes I had to work on the floor or find somewhere in the lunchroom I could set up in the corner this went on for over a month.
