Pros

- Good medical benefits - Really smart people at the firm - Unlimited time off

Cons

- You are treated by your hierarchy level (Analyst > Associate > Vice President > Director > Managing Director) rather than as a human and employee of the company. Most analysts are snobbed/ treated as unimportant because of their level. - BlackRock gives multiple trainings to People Managers but most of them are still toxic. Had many folks leave due to this and that was the main reason I left. - Long work hours cause you are are salary based and not hourly based. You find yourself working about 13hours everyday and some teams would ask for more. - You’re given unlimited time off but rarely allowed to use it cause there is always SOO much work to do. - Huge politics in promotion and growing your career at the firm.

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.
