Pros

Very team oriented culture where one is encouraged to work together to solve problems.

Cons

Very closed and proprietary (and severely outdated) in terms of tools and technologies. Employees (especially senior employees) display an arrogance about working at Goldman and blindly follow any direction without questioning. Despite the talent there's actually very little innovation. Once you get acclimated to the culture and their ways of doing things, you'll lose your ability to think outside the box.
