      Pros

      Loads of opportunities. People are really nice and helpful. Everyone is performance driven so make sure you're good enough. Its unlikely you can waffle your way up to management.

      Cons

      Currently the reputation has been baffled by the financial crisis. In my opinion, this is absolutely unfair and the financial crisis really hasn't only one or two organizations to blame.

      Goldman Sachs - A great place to work

      Pros

      I work with some of the smartest people in the world. Everyone is 100% dedicated at GS. Additionally, the level of communication is outstanding with everyone knowing what's going on at any one time. We tend to have a lot of meetings which can be viewed as negative (analysis paralysis some might say), but I find it very helpful. Everyone gets involved in the approval process this way, and everyone's voice is heard. The flattened hierarchy at GS avoids all the beauracracy and people can get down to work without worrying about the "proper" chain of command. And lastly, the technical systems that have been built by in-house GS personnel are some of the most advanced and useful pieces of software in the industry.

      Cons

      Nothing really important that would warrant a comment.
