Pros

-Pool Cab and food ok. -self learning material -clean office.

Cons

-Salary growth is slower compared to industry for mid and backend roles. -Lack of necessary coordination among Team members due to cut throat visibility and growth concerns. -Lack of respect for lateral talent.Some employees are highly arrogant, verbally indecent which is reflected in verbal spats and emotional outbursts on the floor. -Managers are often defensive for their ego and hide their insecurities behind their designation and yoe. -Due to productivity targets and client requirements,employees are provided with much more than their work capacity without proper direction. -Holidays feel like painful escapes. -High Ambiguity in processes and change management.Unnecessary levels and multiplicity of documentation,controls and approvals. -Politics is evident on day 1 and highly variable cultures between teams. -HR is for maintaining documentation, promotional branding,fashion- not responsible for employee welfare.

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.
