What do you like about working at BlackRock?
"Salary, although that is stagnating. The San Francisco office looks nice."
Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?
"Negotiate your title and pay up front. I have actively heard hiring managers say they want to get someone cheaper than they are worth."
What don't you like about working at BlackRock?
"People are simply motivated by advancing their title. The politics around this are simply awful. The reason for this rat race is because once you have reached the pay level and title of Managing Director, you can rest on your title and do no useful work. Additionally, communication at BlackRock is poor with too many meetings and an inbox deluged with blanket emails."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"I think our CEO has forgotten the third leg of the stakeholder stool: Shareholders, customers, AND employees. I would take Henry Ford's tact and share more of the company profits with employees, rather than cutting pay and then paying myself megamillions annually. Using te state of the financial industry as an excuse is deplorable when you extract millions in profits for your own coffers."
Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?
"Be good at what you are talking about but don't make or expect a large compensation."
