Pros

Good benefits including medical/dental/vision insurance and 401K w/company match

Cons

Resources always spread too thin and many managers lacked boundaries when it came to contacting assistants outside of regular business hours. Those who were high performers were asked to pick up slack for others who performed less efficiently, with little to no recognition of/compensation for taking on added responsibilities/added work. Employee burnout was high. Technology was sorely outdated and presented many challenges one would never expect from a company with the reputation of GS.

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.
