BlackRock

• WLB (You can usually take the day off early for doctor's appointments)
• Stable job

• So much legacy technology; like no one uses XML in Spring anymore.

• There is definitely racial bias when it comes to promotions, favoring white employees over people of color, so it's not a meritocracy.

• Lack of career growth.

• The company is very much against WFH, so if you're looking to work remotely, look elsewhere (they'll prefer you to be on disability for a few years rather than working remotely).

• Too much office politics and too hierarchical.

• Managers working on their own careers instead of the careers of their reports.

Management really needs to create a line of communication for employees to discuss things with their skip-level managers without fear of retaliation. So, if their manager is not doing their job, they have a choice other than just quitting.
