BlackRock is a reputatable and world largest asset manager. - insurance cover is amazing - lots of company events - good for learning and knowledge is everywhere - Big company name and software. Good for the next job. - Lick the boots work here as long as you are good at it. - Good for new graduates. Learn, thank and move on.
Cons
- Salary is lower than market for ops and tech. - HR almost does not exist unable something bad happens. - Meritocracy is oversold. It's all about networking and getting into your manager's book. - Overworked. Even though there is a unlimited leave policy, people are afraid to take leave. Managers make you feel threatened or guilt thread whenever you are away. - A lot of social groups and events. But if I don't get on your manager's book, they assumed you are too free to join these events even though they are done outside work hours. - noticed that there are a lot of possibility fake reviews here to make the company look better than it is. Be aware. - HQ is US, decisions are make in US and UK. Asia offices are followers. Voice always unheard.
