Vantaggi

Working as technology associate for last 3 years. Here are some pros: 1. Compared to many other sell side firms where technology is mismanaged, Blackrock does an amazing job in maintaining its technology stack. They are are not afraid to explore new technologies and employees are aways encouraged to come up with new ideas and poc(proof of concepts) to showcase benefits of new technology. 2. Most of the teams are made up of extremely smart people and senior management does an amazing job in setting challenging goals. 3. Benefits are competitive in the form of many medical insurance choices, 401k match and employee stock discount program.

Svantaggi

Here are some cons: 1. Salaries are competitive but for the amount of work being done currently, employees certainly deserve more. 2. Poor work life balance. 3. Few buildings needs to be renovated.

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.
