Pros: A very accepting and encouraging environment. It is possible to work from home when needed. Continuous learning is not only expected, but BlackRock also provides many opportunities to do so: time, a yearly budget for conferences, books, trainings, and exams; internal technical trainings, presentations, and language courses. To feel well is important: regular face-to-face meetings with your managers, where they expect feedback from us and provide useful and constructive feedback in the correct way; health insurance which includes a yearly full check-up.

Cons: You don’t have your own desk, so you cannot leave personal belongings on it. You have to place them in your box. The company is in constant change, which may cause difficulties for people who are uncomfortable with a changing environment, but it keeps our minds fresh.

Pros: Work-life balance is really good.

Cons: Sometimes politics happens at the workplace.

Pros: - Mobility within the firm - Good work-life balance

Cons: - Need to vet for good managers. - Lack of culture.
