Pros

The money can be quite good and if you work on a project that has good support you'll have something good to put on your resume.

Cons

Secretive and clubby. A lot of them started when BlackRock was small so they talk among themselves. They don't appear to have realized just yet that their current merger makes NYC the third largest office now instead of the first.

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.
