Pros

Prestigious name but also tied with abuses, so I guess not much of a "pro".

Cons

There were no effective systems set in place to help the team or individuals on the team yet, employees were expected to essentially kill themselves for perfection. There was no appetite for mistakes and learning from mistakes. The team had cliques where people who had been on the team longer were closer to each other. Newer members were not as close. Unlimited time off meant no time off. Lack of trust on the team, lack of clear direct communication or transparency. Overall horrific environment for mental health.

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.
