Pros

- Good benefits and decent compensation - Some opportunties for travel to interesting cities such as New York and London - That's it

Cons

- All of the decision making is centralized in New York, with people in other regions marginalized. - The old BGI resources are underutilized and in many cases demoted - Morale is low, with the majority of resources actively looking for other jobs - The people who are being laid off are happier than the people looking for jobs

Pros

Plenty of opportunity to work on project teams. Lots of exposure to senior leaders in HR and the businesses. Great collaboration in the One BlackRock spirit. Benefits to support employees and their families are good.

Cons

Workload can be challenging at times. However, you are gaining a lot of new skills in a short prior of time and the ability to work with leaders is worth it.
