Brand and reputation - Larry is well-respected in the finance community Medical benefits are fairly generous, although recently 500 pound excess was introduced

Extremely political organisation to work for. If you are not in the right club, then you can be excluded. Politics, politics, politics.

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.
