Vantaggi

Good location in Edinburgh I suppose.

Svantaggi

Intensely cliquey, if you are not friends with the right people then your life will be difficult. Expected to drop personal life at a moments notice at weekends etc for work. Constant crisis culture. IT systems constantly blowing up and immense pressure to fix quickly. Poor managers who are just in the right place right time to be promoted (got in early). Mistakes are not ok and you will be hammered and reminded of them constantly. Workaholic culture, expected to give your life to the company and condemned when you do not. Constant appraisals (weekly) designed to weed information out of you and critique every aspect of your performance. Aladdin architecture is awful and pcs are slow, iwork culture is awful. Flexible time off is a complete con and designed to make you take less holidays and not pay holidays when you leave!

Vantaggi

Branding branding branding!!! an incredible brand, and having it on your resume opens some doors but not all.

Svantaggi

The Preqin acquisition never really found its identity after becoming part of BlackRock. It felt like the focus shifted from listening to clients to fitting Preqin into a broader BlackRock strategy. As AI changes how firms access and analyze private market data, simply being a data provider isn’t enough anymore. My impression was that Preqin’s long-term value is likely to come from being integrated into the broader Aladdin ecosystem and APIs, rather than remaining a standalone platform. Leadership would benefit from spending more time listening to customers and the teams on the front lines instead of assuming they already know what the market wants.
