Pros
Good on your resume Will meet hard working people .
Cons
constant cost cutting initiatives. Goldman technology feels they are great in technology and different than other firms.Surprisingly these comments only come from people who have never worked outside the firm. Reality is that they are not really different and in fact their technology is very out dated resulting in hard work for people and difficult release cycle. Everyone I meet has a constant fear of layoffs. They are just hanging in there till the inevitable layoffs happens Not a good option for 10+ years experience laterals.Most would be used for layoffs bucket or lower ratings in appraisal cycle Benefits that used to great are declining every year.health benefits premiums and deductible has increased a lot No work from home even for genuine cases All in all not worth the hard work you put in. Better compensation/work life balance outside The whole firm is pushing toward outsourcing to save money. It has a 20-20 rule. Be prepared to work 20%more on 20% less salary than competitors They will really keep an eye on you on every small things like when you come to office,how may breaks youtake etc
