Pros

Great company. BlackRock will continue to be one of the largest and best asset managers. Jobs are secure. The people who work at BlackRock are smart, qualified, and pleasant to work with.

Cons

If you are on the operations side of BlackRock, you will get a salary that is higher than most. But, if you want to be a top earner you will need to be in the revenue generating side of the company.

Pros

Branding branding branding!!! an incredible brand, and having it on your resume opens some doors but not all.

Cons

The Preqin acquisition never really found its identity after becoming part of BlackRock. It felt like the focus shifted from listening to clients to fitting Preqin into a broader BlackRock strategy. As AI changes how firms access and analyze private market data, simply being a data provider isn’t enough anymore. My impression was that Preqin’s long-term value is likely to come from being integrated into the broader Aladdin ecosystem and APIs, rather than remaining a standalone platform. Leadership would benefit from spending more time listening to customers and the teams on the front lines instead of assuming they already know what the market wants.
