Pros
What are the best reasons to work for Goldman Sachs? More appropriately, What WERE the best reasons to work for Goldman Sachs. Technologist were paid a premium compared to other industries, but that premium is far gone and will not return.
Cons
IT organization is grown too fast and too slow to keep up with smaller firms. IT is not a direct generator of revenue except for a very few divisions (algo trading etc.) Large legacy infrastructure not designed to benefit from current computing cost savings trends. (and don't tell me migrations are easy or cheap or on budget)
