Pros

-BLK offers a wide array of opportunities for learning on the job. -Hours are in line with any other financial services job, (the occasional long evening or weekend). -Coworkers are always willing to help or explain a problem.

Cons

- Salary is subpar compared to the industry - More management training is needed. Various middle managers have disgraceful interpersonal behavior and strong negativity. - Decisions are not open for discussion, its a "my way or the highway" atmosphere.

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.
