BlackRock

Pay is good, and you can have a good learning experience.

1. People are very toxic and everybody is busy playing politics.
2. There is a favouritism culture where the QA head would blindly trust his favourites.
3. These favourites would like to take full advantage of this power and would cause hindrance to others' progress.
4. The favourites would make sure to grab opportunities in their bucket before they even reach the office floor.

My advice to management:

1. They should keep an open mind and give opportunities to new people, also trusting them as they were able to clear your interviews. It is very important for them not to be only dependent on their favorites.

2. Blackrock should also take reviews from all subordinates and juniors with whom they have worked on any initiatives before giving promotions to their seniors.

3. You should stop the favoritism culture and also question your favorites rather than trusting them blindly.
