Very long hours and pressure but still great place to work for but you need to earn it with sacrifice and dedication. - Vice President Goldman Sachs Employee Review

Pros

Prestige. Very ambitious and smart people. Always things to learn. Thorough review system and career development/mentoring (as long as you keep your eyes open).

Cons

Very long hours and weekends even compared to other investment banks. Could get aggressive. (As with other firms) Tend to get political as you move up higher. Sometimes too much emphasis on the 'perception/image' rather than the actual outcome/impact.

Pros

The firm encourages and supports to change teams, which is helpful in expanding experience or moving away if you aren't happy with your team

Cons

The promotion has become very opaque lately. They hardly give out promotions, but make you slog and overwork the whole year in the name of it. Basically, you have worked 200% and made to look like a fool by the end of the year.
