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

It is a great company to work for along with it being a # 1 investment bank amongst its competitors. Also the employees at the company are smart and have a great work ethic along with loving to work for the company. A sense of a proud feelings is there when you work for goldman sachs

Cons

seems like you have very little room for advacement, espeically out of the operations department. In addition, it felt that if you were in operations you were stuck there for a very long time with the fact that the program lasts 18 months before any sort of move is available which in turn is unlikely to happen either way.
