Pros

Neurotic, workaholic New York culture hasn't entirely rubbed off on West Coast offices. You can still find work-life balance in SF and Seattle offices. And... I think we're just as, if not more, effective at our jobs.

Cons

If you want to climb the corporate ladder, it's overall better to do so in the New York office.

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.
