BlackRock, Inc.

New York, NY · founded 1988

BlackRock is the world's largest asset manager, running roughly $15 trillion for institutions and individuals through index funds, iShares ETFs, and its Aladdin risk-and-portfolio software. It is a prestigious, fast-paced and, by its own description, 'sometimes intense' financial-services environment anchored in five 'BlackRock Principles' around fiduciary duty and 'One BlackRock' collaboration. The benefits are broad and corporate-grade — fertility support, parental leave, flexible time off, tuition assistance, an ESPP and generous donation matching — but this is a demanding New York finance culture, not a laid-back tech shop. It also carries real reputational baggage: it draws sustained criticism from both sides of the ESG debate and over its influence on corporate governance and ties to government institutions.
