Pros

Good benefits from parent company. There are still some awesome people left. Still some interesting problems to solve (although some work becomes repetitive)

Cons

Executive decisions are secretive and black-boxed from employees. However, most of this information is known among employees. There is a loss of trust. The business makes excuses for turnover, but should not deny having many of their high performers leave within a short period of time (even for a small company). Another comment mentioned that FutureAdvisor has "too much process"... while in reality, the organization as a whole is releasing unfinished/rushed work on a regular basis. This is due to short-sighted, aggressive deadlines. Business prides itself on work-life balance, but instead awards/spotlights employees who work ridiculous hours due to executive failures.

Pros

Plenty of opportunity to work on project teams. Lots of exposure to senior leaders in HR and the businesses. Great collaboration in the One BlackRock spirit. Benefits to support employees and their families are good.

Cons

Workload can be challenging at times. However, you are gaining a lot of new skills in a short prior of time and the ability to work with leaders is worth it.
