Pros

Very team oriented culture where one is encouraged to work together to solve problems.

Cons

Very closed and proprietary (and severely outdated) in terms of tools and technologies. Employees (especially senior employees) display an arrogance about working at Goldman and blindly follow any direction without questioning. Despite the talent there's actually very little innovation. Once you get acclimated to the culture and their ways of doing things, you'll lose your ability to think outside the box.

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.
