Rewarded for hard work - Associate BlackRock Employee Review

Surrounded by top talent, Lots of opportunities for career growth

Large organization, so decision-making and processes can sometimes move more slowly than in smaller firms.

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

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.
