      Most of what you hear is true - both good and bad...

      Pros

      To build your resume with the experience at working at a/the top firm. Some of the people are great, and all are talented and motivated. It's also a good place to learn the business and how to manuever through the corporate world - no place will be tougher or more ruthless.

      Cons

      Pros

      When full time the bonus is always great, the benefits are the best, work from home flexibility, the harder you work the faster you will move up but you have to speak up or they will think you dont want more responsibility, easy to move within the company- they would rather move you than fire you, if you ever consider moving out of GS - expect at least a 15-20k salary increase. Very flexible with temps.

      Cons

      Temps - if they dont need you anymore you will find out from your agent who will call you to tell you to pack up because you have till the end of the week - management will not provide with comments. they will not give you feedback unless you go back to your agency and the agency calls HR which in turn calls the manager who probably seats next to you. Full time - long hours (sep-feb) - - no overtime - cant take more than 2 weeks vacation at once.

      The Real truth about GS.

      Pros

      Goldman Sachs is #1 Investment bank and was the only bank that survived the market crash. They offer amazing perks for the employees such as free dinners after 6 pm, free car ride homes after 9, free access to the gym, and great food in cafeteria. Goldman's people are some of the most talented people in the world.

      Cons

      You have about 100 other people doing the same thing as you are so it takes A REALLY long time to move up within the organization. The managers in Human Resources are completely different from the managers on the business side. The business side only hires the best and the most talented individuals however HR consists of people that are NOT talented and not very smart. All of the amazing individuals that are recruited for the company are recruited from the employment agencies where HR is only left with "easy" and administrative functions to set up interviews, screen then in the end (when the team already made a hiring decision) and process offers.
