Pros

The people and the environment are the best reasons to work at Goldman Sachs. Everyone is committed to helping one another, no matter how busy they are. It's very much a meritocracy; if you do well, they will give you more responsibility so that you will always feel challenged.

Cons

It's not an environment for superstars if that is what you like. All important decisions are very much group based decisions and the culture is very team oriented. You are graded on how well you perform in a team because it's very important.

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.
