They pay really well. If you want to make lots of money quickly before running off to Grad School, then GS is where you want to be!

Cons

You have to almost change your personality to fit in to there culture, dress like they dress, talk like they talk, watch the same TV shows, it's like they wnat everyone to have a single personality. And everyone is way to uptight.

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.
