Review on BLK by a former PMG Associate

Associate - pmg

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

BLK has a great culture and excellent brand name. The sell side treats you like kings and queens when you are on the portfolio management side. You hit the ground running and literally do everything that the senior PMs do, which is invaluable.

Cons

It is nearly impossible to move between product groups on the portfolio management side despite expressing interest in something else after a year or two. If a product group is not doing well, a young associate is stuck with a stagnant career at an excellent firm. Then what?

Pros

BlackRock has a great work/life balance. Management is usually very understanding of family needs, vacations and they even allow you to work from different offices if need be. They have great benefits including the 401k contribution as well as an additional contribution at the end of the year, outsource a free service that will help to save you time and research anything you or your family could need, emergency childcare services, great materity/paternity time off.

Cons

It is not as easy to transfer within the company as was alluded to upon being hired. The pay is not as comparable as other companies offer, but the name you are able to put on the resume is priceless.
