Pros

Great benefits. If you are in the right team, the work/life balance and flex work is great. They invest a lot in their investment professionals

Cons

If you are not an investment professional, don't expect them to pay attention to you. The amazing career paths they have do not apply to the assistants. You work as you are and you are happy with it. Eventually, you will hit the salary ceiling and you need to be happy with that as well since it will not change.

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.
