Pros

people will respect the blackrock name on your resume

Cons

there are not even enough desks for people in the office. mgmt insist on 3-2 and you end up sitting in a group of random people not even on your team destroying any productivity. Pay is typically 20%-50% BELOW market and they genuinely do not seem keen on retaining talent. If you absolutely need the name on your resume maybe consider a 1.5-2 year stint and make plans to move on.

Pros

decent pay and good name drop to add to your experience and resume

Cons

everything!! since this was a contract role I was brought in to complete a project with 0 leadership or direction. I was left to figure out everything completely on my own from finding a computer and a desk and a phone to figuring out who to contact in India etc to help me revamp the entire global website on the backend. I literally had to show up to work everyday at least an hour early so that I could possibly try to find a open desk sometimes I had to work on the floor or find somewhere in the lunchroom I could set up in the corner this went on for over a month.
