Pros

Some divisions of the firm are fantastic and the people in the firm are great and wonderful people - always willing to help you in your career. Goldman Sachs is a great place to work but not every manager is fantastic.

Cons

Different divisions of the firm are completely different in their treatment of junior staff and of course the most important contributor to your satisfaction at work is your manager. I'd suggest taking a very very strong look at your manager before considering any taking any roles here. This is particularly true in the Operations division.

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.
