BlackRock Work Experiences
- 3.0Interesting company going through some dramatic changesSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesFebruary 8, 2010Pros: The people are the reason to work here. There are a lot of good people. The good hiring practice has dropped off, but there are still plenty of great people.Cons: It has become a management-heavy organization. There are a lot of managers focusing only on staying above their reports. A recent transaction with BGI and a very aggressive attitude towards those employees has put a damper on the culture and enjoyment of working here.
