Pros

Great people/talent Culture is very strong and open. Access to senior management is probably like none-other on the street and having responsibility at a young age is common.

Cons

Career development is not a priority at BlackRock, and the compensation is below what the street is paying. It is a very clear trade-off: you get to work with the best and get great responsibility, but you won't get paid and moving around to different areas is not easy.

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.
