What It's Like to Work at BlackRock

There is a mindset at BlackRock that you should be like a student — always learning and improving. The hackathon is quite representative of the company, and how we always try to find new ways to do things.

The most rewarding thing for me is knowing that I am able to make an impact on a large scale. Given the size of BlackRock, I know that, by doing my job well (helping to keep safe the technology and data the company uses to deliver for our clients), I am playing a small part to positively impact the financial future of millions of people and financial markets globally.

Every person I met through the recruitment process embodied the One BlackRock principle. It was clear BlackRock is a firm that values cooperation and teamwork, and where people genuinely care about and root for each other’s success. 

BlackRock doesn’t feel like a traditional finance company; it feels inclusive and more like a tech firm.
