      Pros

      Great name recognition Incredibly smart colleagues Great pay right out of undergrad Fantastic experience on high profile deals right out of undergrad

      Cons

      Obvious work-life balance issues, particularly in the NY office As with most banks, some of the lifers at the senior levels are particularly jaded and old school, with little regard for your happiness or success; however, there are also those who are very helpful, call it luck of the draw

      Ok but used to be better

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Management and strategy are consistent and transparent across the organisation

      Cons

      As the organisation has grown, the inevitable politics and personal agendas have crept in to the working environment. Goldmans is now much more political than before and this has been difficult for some of the old school to adapt to.

      Best place to work for

      Vice president - operations
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Most coworkers are extremely talented Internal Mobility is encouraged Highest degree of respect for employees Great sharing of upside profits and safety net in down times Mostly a Meritocracy in the revenue side Incredibly focused in diversity

      Cons

      Not much a meritocracy in Operations Clusters/groups get better opportunities You look down to other companies when trying to move, so it's difficutl to get away The "brand" premium is discounted in your salary Too much attention from the press regarding our compensation this days so "very limited" upside potential
