Pros

Think Goldman Sachs has a great, merit-based culture that promotes teamwork, excellence, and strong client relationships. The Firm provides great resources, and is able to attract the best and the brightest. The people are driven and intelligent, but also down to earth and warm.

Cons

Hours are long, but so are most jobs that are interesting and worth doing. The "prestige" factor for both the Firm and the industry is clearly not where it was 5-10 year ago, but its still one of the top places to work.

Pros

The firm encourages and supports to change teams, which is helpful in expanding experience or moving away if you aren't happy with your team

Cons

The promotion has become very opaque lately. They hardly give out promotions, but make you slog and overwork the whole year in the name of it. Basically, you have worked 200% and made to look like a fool by the end of the year.
