Pros

Fair compensation. Decent benefits. Reputable company to have on one's resume.

Cons

As political, bureaucratic, cutthroat as it gets for a single company . The widely publicized attempts at improving diversity are all lip service. I work in a department in which not a single person of color was promoted in two years. As for work life balance, Blackrock culture encourages you to work to the bone so they can profit off what remains. Unlimited time off is merely a selling point that employees are terrified to ever use. They preach a meritocracy based system, but that is from the case.

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.
