Pros

- top of business financial products - talented colleagues in several areas - multinational environment - competitive perks, especially for IT people

Cons

- SSC feeling with repetitive, over-advertised functions - terrible technological infrastructure, they don’t give you laptop and made it a horror to access the internal system from your own device - arrogant and not very helpful local HR (they promise everything and only care until you sign up) - lack of interest from management abroad, remote managers consider this place as a support office with no interest in your opinion

BlackRock Response

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. The experiences you have described do not reflect our values, especially our One BlackRock principle. We pride ourselves on being globally-minded and locally-focused in our 70 offices across 30 countries. Your comments are concerning to us as we provide our teams with the necessary tools and opportunities to succeed in their jobs and develop their careers. Our offices are all performing pivotal functions for the company’s overall performance and we work together to collectively reach key business objectives. The Budapest office is our largest office in continental Europe, hosting talent from all backgrounds, teams from all functions, all of whom are tackling innovative projects featuring cutting-edge technology. We are disappointed to hear you don’t feel the Budapest office is receiving the credit it deserves. We take this feedback very seriously.

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.
