Pros

BlackRock provides great pay and benefits to entry level workers. Also, provides the opportunity to take on as much work as you desire.

Cons

Little respect among coworkers, however, at the same time it feels as if it is just one big boy's club.

Pros

Lots of smart people - very involved in virtually every major financial asset class - interesting management with lots of contacts

Cons

Advancement track is not obvious - still lots of hierarchy - pay is less meritocrous than it appears on face value
