Blackrock in Europe
BlackRock is known for it's quality of work in the US, but what about the rest of Europe? Specifically; Germany, Netherlands and UK.
Are all Rocks created equally?

BlackRock is very legit at least in the UK after the acquisition of BGI. Very nice office building and people are very smart. Compared to the US they tend me hire more kids from undergrad to PMG (Fixed income, equities, multi-assets, private equity partners) and Financial Markets Advisory (FMA). One of my friends who's in the fixed income modeling team goes to clubbing a lot during week days, which somewhat shows the w/l balance is a bit better than banking. Banking hour in europe generally is not as crazy as in the US anyway. But you will travel a lot if you are in a small team such as PEP, which only has 8 professionals including 1 MD in london. They rotate in Princeton a lot.
Thank you for your prompt reply. It's exactly the reason why I doubted the UK Rock, as it seems to have an relatively large amount of undergrads in PMG. (as per Linkedin)
Any input on Germany/Netherlands?
Haha yes it makes BlackRock seems not as selective as in the US. It also depends on the team. Based on my experience, Multi-asset is one of the sweetest group in BLK and people are extremely smart. Not sure about Germany/Netherlands in details but I am very certain they are mainly based in London for european business.
Their FMA group is pretty excellent, its been involved in a lot of the GIPS sovereign issues and bank stress testing. I think it takes 2 undergrad/yr the rest are experienced or internal.
