Pros

There were some fantastic speaker events both with internal and external speakers. There are great resources available if you know where to find them.

Cons

I was in a weird and unwelcoming team. Nobody spoke in team meetings because it wasn't a safe space to do so, and it was really awkward. There is an astounding lack of acceptance of people and things who look or are different. Favouritism is a real issue. Opportunities are only given to a preferred few regardless of everyone's performance. Credit for other peoples work was taken by or given to the favourites. Otherwise you are expected to stay in your place. Very long hours and no support is provided. Notably during the pandemic when I was homeschooling my primary school aged children on my own. My partner is a healthcare professional and was working in the hospital during that time.

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.
