Pros

- top of business financial products - talented colleagues in several areas - multinational environment - competitive perks, especially for IT people

Cons

- SSC feeling with repetitive, over-advertised functions - terrible technological infrastructure, they don’t give you laptop and made it a horror to access the internal system from your own device - arrogant and not very helpful local HR (they promise everything and only care until you sign up) - lack of interest from management abroad, remote managers consider this place as a support office with no interest in your opinion

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. The experiences you have described do not reflect our values, especially our One BlackRock principle. We pride ourselves on being globally-minded and locally-focused in our 70 offices across 30 countries. Your comments are concerning to us as we provide our teams with the necessary tools and opportunities to succeed in their jobs and develop their careers. Our offices are all performing pivotal functions for the company’s overall performance and we work together to collectively reach key business objectives. The Budapest office is our largest office in continental Europe, hosting talent from all backgrounds, teams from all functions, all of whom are tackling innovative projects featuring cutting-edge technology. We are disappointed to hear you don’t feel the Budapest office is receiving the credit it deserves. We take this feedback very seriously.

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.
