BlackRock

• Product-based
• Finance domain

One of the worst teams of HR you will see.

Too low pay scale as per market standards. When other companies (even service-based ones) offer 25 LPA, BlackRock offers hardly 20 LPA. All they keep saying is that "BlackRock is a brand," and then their CTC is basically based on this single line.

They offer almost 30-40% less than market standards and tell you that BlackRock is a big brand, so you should choose wisely.

Also, to be noted, once they send you the CTC over email, you have hardly 24 hours to decide whether you want to join the company or not. They will really force you and pressure you to such an extent that you won't have a chance or time to think and decide whether you should be joining this company or looking for other better options out there (there are plenty of better companies, trust me).

Apart from this, when you receive the CTC over email, even if you try to negotiate with or without holding any other counter-offer, HR will start behaving rudely with you, and your offer will most probably be revoked. Yes, that's true, and it happened to me twice. In fact, as soon as you tell them about negotiating the offer, they will start deactivating your candidate account from their Workday platform behind the scenes, and you won't have any idea what's going on.

They will just assume that you won't join the company. Ridiculous and the worst HR and hiring team I must say.

Shame in the name of a big product-based organization. Better look for much better options like Goldman, Morgan Stanley, etc.

Management really needs to improve the hiring process and keep an eye on the HR coordinators during the entire hiring process. Mostly candidates are facing a bad onboarding experience.
