Pros

Great people/talent Culture is very strong and open. Access to senior management is probably like none-other on the street and having responsibility at a young age is common.

Cons

Career development is not a priority at BlackRock, and the compensation is below what the street is paying. It is a very clear trade-off: you get to work with the best and get great responsibility, but you won't get paid and moving around to different areas is not easy.

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.
