      Oppressive work environment

      Analyst developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Its name is great, the quality of the people is extremely high: as good as it gets.

      Cons

      Oppressive environment, over-confident employees, too much stress. It is also annoying to constantly hear the constant self praise that goldman gives.

      GS: Looks Great on a Resume but the life/culture is not for everyone.

      Tax associate - hfs
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The reputation and the money. Looks very good on a resume. I felt the compensation was higher than other firms were offering to their back office support staff at the time that I worked there. The benefits package was extremely sufficient and you were also given access to GS's PWM platform and had access to all GS Research for HNW's and Institutional Clients.

      Cons

      If you are in a back office position (i.e. OTFS) it is very difficult to transition to a front office capacity (i.e. IB, IM, S&T). I am sure it is obvious that I wanted to transfer and was not able, but I am not posting a negative review because I am bitter, I am simply doing this so that other who have the idea that they can get into GS through a "back door" and transfer to a front office job are not diluted. I had many friends who attempted us GS's internal job posting to get a position and all were rebuffed.

      Neutral-Positive:

      Senior analyst developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good balance of work and home when the going's good - relaxed environment, respectable in just about every way. Haven't been here for that long, but it's one of the best jobs I've ever had in terms of allowing me a life outside the office. Surprisingly little office politics, especially compared to similar positions with similar firms.

      Cons

      The communication between upper and lower levels really leaves something to be desired. A little sketchy on the opportunities for advancement based on performance.
