Pros

people will respect the blackrock name on your resume

Cons

there are not even enough desks for people in the office. mgmt insist on 3-2 and you end up sitting in a group of random people not even on your team destroying any productivity. Pay is typically 20%-50% BELOW market and they genuinely do not seem keen on retaining talent. If you absolutely need the name on your resume maybe consider a 1.5-2 year stint and make plans to move on.

Pros

Plenty of opportunity to work on project teams. Lots of exposure to senior leaders in HR and the businesses. Great collaboration in the One BlackRock spirit. Benefits to support employees and their families are good.

Cons

Workload can be challenging at times. However, you are gaining a lot of new skills in a short prior of time and the ability to work with leaders is worth it.
