Pros

Fair working environment - not leading edge.

Cons

Goldman is a very strange mixture of people. Some people are very smart, people who make very big contribution both inside and outside the company. However, at least in technology where most of my experience is, there are a number of people who are either completely un-motivated or just not smart at all. I'd like to refrain from saying they are dumb because that would probably be off the mark, but I have seen a much higher number of people who don't know what they are doing.The corporate culture, as I see it, is very arrogant. I've found about a 50/50 split between people who are very full of themselves and people who are normal, decent people.

Great benefits (medical, dental, life insurance, 401k) and PTO package. Lots of opportunities to get involved and network across the firm and in the community.

Cons

For many teams, the salary is not competitive for other companies. High stress.
