Good place to work, but for a Technology employee, there's a limit to how "good" it can be. - Programme Analyst Goldman Sachs Employee Review

Pros

Despite the turmoil in the current market, if you want to work in a large financial house, Goldman Sachs is the place to be. There's a lot of clear opportunity for career advancement within the firm, and long-term outlook is still good if you can make it through the current economic crisis with your job intact.

Cons

My downsides are focused on the fact that I work in Technology; I consider myself to be a pretty good developer, and I just don't think I can reach my potential in terms of self-development and also prestige amongst peers working in a non-revenue generating role at a bank.

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.
