Pros

Looks good to have Goldman Sachs on your resume. Exposure to High Net Worth Clients that you won't find anywhere else. They make sure you are educated before putting you in front of clients.

Cons

The job is basically Indentured Servitude. They expect you to work 60 - 70 hour weeks, but always find reasons to not promote you or skimp on your bonus. Pay is extremely top-heavy. Account managers make tons of $$$, everyone else gets scraps. The Chicago office is actually in Deerfield, IL and the commute is a nightmare.

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.
