How do engineers at BlackRock feel about the firm? Good culture? Growth opportunities? Support from higher ups? What is the tech stack like? Comp?
TC: $190k
It’s a good firm, but they’re known for lowballing comp. Growth opportunities are there but super slow and formal. The tech stack is old but modernizing slowly, and people are mostly pretty forward thinking and trying to make things better. The culture/WLB is probably the best part - upper management cares about the employees and it’s really not so demanding for most engineers from what I heard (including my own experience).
Take all that with a grain of salt, though. At a big company, all this stuff varies by team, role, and manager.
