It is an interesting company to work at not just due to the innovation technology, but also the flat management structure that allows anybody to pursue initiatives for the company that they think are important. Many people can find the amount of work overwhelming, as well as a bit chaotic, but if you thrive in that type of environment you would enjoy it."

"I have worked with BlackRock for 10 years. I had many roles at thee company. It is a large company with many divisions. You can easily move between groups."

"It’s a very good place to work but a lot depends on your team and work culture."

"Doers should avoid BlackRock. You cannot get anything meaningful done without having to navigate red tape, attend endless meetings, and withstand political backstabbing. If you do happen to be working on something meaningful, a senior manager will take it over after 90% completed saying, "This is too important to have a junior manager leading it". You will only be promoted if you are connected to the right people. If you are not connected, your "role" (defined by BLK and HR) will be deemed inappropriate for advancement. Either you move somewhere else internally, thereby resetting your service time for promotion, or you are out of luck. You can do everything for everyone, and then watch dead-weight get promoted ahead of you."
