Pros

Name recognition and compensation. If you're looking to get highly paid as a technologist for mediocre work, Goldman is the place to be.

Cons

Too much support work, too little software engineering. There is a lack of communication and knowledge of the systems. "Trial by fire" is how I mostly learn about things here. People don't know about the systems, so it's a "dig through the code" process here whenever there are problems. Not the place to be if your are a pure technologist. However, Goldman pays well for such mediocre work.

Pros

Worked in Compliance, pretty chill. Got off around 5 pm and can take calls from home

Cons

Does not really feel my impact for the work, also the team was under staff so had to be constantly on call. Most of my team was in india so the time difference was also not ideal
