What It's Like to Work at BlackRock

Updated on February 25, 2026

BlackRock Employee Perspectives

Our entrepreneurial culture is rooted in agility, ambition and genuine collaboration with colleagues across teams and regions. Here, you’ll encounter an environment that values curiosity, accountability, and continuous learning as we strive to challenge ourselves and each other every day.

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. 

We are building a culture of innovation, curiosity and compassion, one that enables every employee to make an impact.

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