Pros

Nice Saratoga location, but this is change with a new building in Latham.

Cons

Where to begin? The only thing anyone leading the company cares about is making money. There is a level of arrogance and entitlement unlike anything you've ever seen. Zero integrity in management (as other reviews have said, they lie right to your face). The culture become unbearable after Goldman took over.

Pros

The brand recognition (not necessarily the reputation)

Cons

Much better places to work from work life balance and diversity perspective. For a company which talks so much about diversity, there is no evidence of equality or inclusion at all. There are much better companies which genuinely care about their culture and employee well being. Would not advise anyone to work for GS.

Pros

-Goldman Culture; lots of resources -Great exposure to c-suite clientele -Non-commission based planning role -If you don't mind taxes and working really hard for minimum increases, the move to Account Manager will be worth it

Cons

-Nepotism, if you are not liked, despite your work product, you will stall in regard to advancement -Pay is well under industry mean and you work heavy hours during tax season -If your Account Manager does not want to guide/teach you, you will stall out as many are too busy to help -Goldman culture in regard to 'sharp elbows' within the office in regard to advancement -Leadership can seem disinterested ie: attends meetings on cell phones -If you are faced with a circumstance where individuals are violating the hand book or ethics, leadership will likely take no action to resolve the issue. Account Managers and up are practically invincible
