Pros

Great people who are fun to work with

Cons

GSEC employees do not feel a core part of Goldman Sachs. There are limited opportunities for advancement within that business, and probably not to senior leadership. The best and brightest at Goldman don't stay at GSEC even if they start there-- the lucky ones find their way back to GS proper, and the rest leave for other firms or industries. The end (not even the middle) of nowhere in JC
