Pros

Putting Goldman on your resume. This is literally the only benefit you will get from this company.

Cons

There is more pressure than you can believe. Pressure to not take vacation. Pressure to get all the work done and not work overtime. Some employees will work overtime and not clock it all because it is so frowned upon. Leadership is terrible in creating opportunities for motivated candidates. They suppress those that are willing to lead. They re-branded the company trying to establish they have changed but this is certainly not the case. The selection process for advancement is for those willing to never say a word or give input. If you do not speak then you will be promoted. Pay is well below the value you will add and the uncertainty for the job makes it just that much worse.
