      Goldman is a fantastic place to work but be very careful about your manager

      Pros

      Some divisions of the firm are fantastic and the people in the firm are great and wonderful people - always willing to help you in your career. Goldman Sachs is a great place to work but not every manager is fantastic.

      Cons

      Different divisions of the firm are completely different in their treatment of junior staff and of course the most important contributor to your satisfaction at work is your manager. I'd suggest taking a very very strong look at your manager before considering any taking any roles here. This is particularly true in the Operations division.

      GS is a recommended place to start work as a technical analyst

      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.

      Questionable practices

      Pros

      Great medical plan. For awhile, you can fool yourself into thinking that you are doing good for society. Then, you realize that they are just scumbags in it for the money. Free lunch on Fridays.

      Cons

      The research that Umbrella does is questionable, in many cases. It leads to a lot of discussions on the morality of what we are doing. Are we helping humanity? Or are we just trying to make money.
