Business Outlook
Pros
Very smart, hard-working, driven people. You can learn a lot by watching what makes others successful. The name carries with you wherever you go. During good economic climates end-of-year bonuses are a welcome reward for all the extra hours put in throughout the year. Goldman also takes diversity very seriously and is quite pro-active in ensuring that the workplace is one in which everyone feels comfortable and has the ability to advance. The firm also has an excellent Community Service initiative which requires employees to spend one serving the community in some way.
Cons
We work a lot of hours. Depending on your exact position it may not be as bad or it could be worse, but generally speaking GS people work a lot.
