Pros

It is a true meritocracy, where people's success isn't driven by the school they attended or who their daddy is/was, but by their talent and drive.

Cons

It is beginning to feel like a big company with the attendant big company challenges--the need to evolve to a big-company managment structure, disparate locations and different legacy cultures mixing together. It's not a start-up any more. But it's still a great company with a great business model.

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.
