      Tech - 2018 is looking good

      Pros

      Wow, upper management is really pushing for top tech. Which is awesome if you are in Tech or Starts division. I here high performer analysts this year received around 40k bonus and 30% salary increase, which is unprecedented. Not sure how they compensated people at higher levels. Upper management is trying to match other tech companies' compensation to compete for top people now.

      Cons

      In some teams expect to work multiple weekends and also stay late. On an avg day people leave around 7 pm. Some people log back in when they get home.

      Pros

      At the core, GS is an excellent place to work. The employees are very smart and management is fully engaged. They live by the mantra that their success depends on their clients success, The information flow, from the highest level of the organization, is fabulous. The pay is very competitive.

      Cons

      The promise/opportunity of individual success is what drives most people at GS. The proverbial gold at the end of the rainbow is to become a Partner level managing director. And in order to get there, you have to make a lot of sacrifices, both personal and professional. Employees often stab each other in the back to get ahead. There is also an annual "culling" to keep people on their toes. Many good employees lose their career this way as they get blindsided. I was laid off not because I wasn't doing a god job or working hard, but because regulatory changes were squeezing profits out of my role.
