Pros

Good overall benefits, smart people, good overall intentions as a company.

Cons

It's a culture where they continue to drive employees with little reward or recognition. More! Faster! Not good enough! More! Wait! Nevermind! More! Faster! You get the drift...and if you are interested in that type of environment, be prepared.

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.
