RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at BlackRock full-time
Pros
The firm is made up of good people, has a strong culture and I enjoy working with my team. Generally the atmosphere is positive.
Cons
The comp is so poor when compared with competitors and there are huge gender pay gaps. They also have a serious problem with no senior women
Advice to Management
Do a pay audit and bring pay inline. Have proper paybands for corporate titles so employees aren't treated unfairly.

RecommendsNeutral OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at BlackRock full-time (More than 8 years)
Pros
Large company at the forefront of thought leadership and technology. Fantastic networks and opportunities to meet smart people. A great place to work.
Cons
Poor middle management. Ineffective managers can languish for years without scrutiny or accountability. Little or no prospect of promotion or internal mobility if working under this type of management.
Advice to Management
Scrutinise the not only the performance, but behaviour of middle managment.

Pros
Firm has a very strong culture of philanthropy, diversity and inclusion, and takes a mature approach to work life balance.
Cons
Given size of firm, it has become increasingly political. Sadly it has not invested sufficiently in training or hiring strong managers or leaders.
Advice to Management
Improve leadership and management.

Collegiate environment where you are allowed to learn from your mistakes. Some super intelligent people to work with and the technology is good and always improving. A great place to learn and start your career.

Below market base pay. Hours getting longer and teams under resourced- general themes that show no sign of change. Constant pressure to do more with less.
Advice to Management
Increase the pay at associate level
