Pros

Goldman Sachs is a great investment bank to work at, especially when you are starting your career in Technology (application development). The new hires in technology are made to go through a seven months of training which is technical as well aimed to give freshers start of their career. The management and the overall culture at Goldman Sachs is open yet professional. The peers are supportive and helpful. The senior members have their office doors opened all the time and encourage others to come directly and talk to them. The overall competence of employees has helped GS achieve a distinct position in the Financial world.

Cons

Goldman Sachs has a great work culture and it is hard to figure out the reasons for not working for it. Being located in New York, one of the costliest cities in world, the compensation does not look as comparable to other technological firms in th bay area. However the bonuses match the other salaries provided the firm does well and so does the employee's performance. The New York weather and busy life is what in not liked by every one. This is one of the happening places and if you are not smart enough you are going to fall back.
