Pros

GS is great for many reasons. First, it is great on a resume, and working here can open a lot of doors. It is also a collaborative environment where growth and learning is constantly encouraged. You work with incredibly intelligent and motivated people.

Cons

There are some huge egos at this firm. How well you are treated is highly dependent on who your manager is. Some are great, some will try to push blame onto their analysts, take credit for their work, and have little compassion. Especially right now, when everywhere is understaffed and everyone is overworked and burnt out, there is a lack of compassion.

Pros

The firm encourages and supports to change teams, which is helpful in expanding experience or moving away if you aren't happy with your team

Cons

The promotion has become very opaque lately. They hardly give out promotions, but make you slog and overwork the whole year in the name of it. Basically, you have worked 200% and made to look like a fool by the end of the year.
