Pros

Nice modern office with good facilities, good benefits outside of your salary

Cons

One of the worst places I have ever worked. Unrealistic workload expectations. Everyone is so busy on calls that you might as well not exist. No point in an open plan office if no one is ever off their calls. You'll be on a call with someone and they are clearly multitasking during the call. Slightly toxic unsupportive environment due to everyone being too stressed to even be a human being. people crying on the daily.

Pros

Branding branding branding!!! an incredible brand, and having it on your resume opens some doors but not all.

Cons

The Preqin acquisition never really found its identity after becoming part of BlackRock. It felt like the focus shifted from listening to clients to fitting Preqin into a broader BlackRock strategy. As AI changes how firms access and analyze private market data, simply being a data provider isn’t enough anymore. My impression was that Preqin’s long-term value is likely to come from being integrated into the broader Aladdin ecosystem and APIs, rather than remaining a standalone platform. Leadership would benefit from spending more time listening to customers and the teams on the front lines instead of assuming they already know what the market wants.
