Pros

The people you work with are definitely above average in terms of knowledge, skills, dedication to their work. I found that everyone was well-read, liked their job and overall was a well-rounded person that knew how to communicate with others, take the initiative. Everyone was really smart. The company still has a small company feel and it doesn't seem to be very bureaucratic. The people are friendly and they help you if you have questions. The HR department is also very friendly and they respond very well to any questions you may have. The company reputation seems to be great at the moment.

Cons

The hours can be very demanding, especially if you are in the portfolio analytics group.

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.
