Pros

It looks great on a resume. People have no idea what Goldman does, they just know that if you worked there for a few years and got promoted, you’re probably pretty good.

Cons

Everything else. You already know that it is going to be a nightmare working there. Unless you’re a nepo kid, it’s going to be a terrible experience and you’ll get paid way below market. When you leave, you’ll have trouble believing how much better your life is now.

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.
