Total compensation is depressingly low
Total compensation is depressingly low
- Good work-life balance in engineering.
- Unlimited PTO, which is mostly respected in engineering teams.
Pay is embarrassingly low. Everyone knows it: HR, your colleagues, higher-ups.
It affects motivation everywhere. Why work hard if we're being massively underpaid?
Associate/VP engineers make LESS than new grads at tech companies. Imagine that!
All these recent 5-star reviews are obviously written by HR. Super fake.
Advice: Stop focusing so much on PR initiatives to attract and retain talent. Literally just pay more.
Engineering total compensation figures for current/prospective employees make it out into the internet very easily and fast, and it is not making BlackRock look like a good place to work at, at all.

After submitting a long application, I only got to the technical screening portion (which was a HackerRank). I believe after that, you will be invited to do another technical interview as well as a behavioral one.
