Cons
Lack of diversity, barely any people of color in senior roles or client facing roles. My team/division has over 600 people, only 15 are black, diversity numbers are terribly low. Lack of inclusion (especially for admins), admins/EA's tend to get treated as resources, not as members of the team. BlackRock is the worlds largest Asset Manager, so you would think we would be a leader in everything, especially with diversity, they are only trying to change things up now because its a trend and its a cool thing to do. Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and even Deutsche Bank have done a wonderful job diversifying their talent. There are plenty HBCU's around the country that have top black/POC talent, if BlackRock really wanted it, its very easy to find. Most divisions in BLK only recruit from Ivy league schools, nepotism is also a huge problem.
