Pros

Goldman Sachs brought a lot of new developer job openings to Utah, and those positions do not require deep technical knowledge. People who transfer to Salt Lake from New York are likely to be exposed to good career opportunities.

Cons

For people who are comfortable with computer science, Goldman Sachs doesn't have any advanced technical positions. The 80-100 hour weeks that I gave and the great performance reviews did not help me get closer to a promotion. The problem is that nothing produced in Salt Lake City generates any revenue, so it's the last place that rewards would be given. The company aims to hire more expendable entry-level developers, and neglects its experienced workers, because that is the most certain way to keep costs low.
