Business Outlook
Pros
The people are talented. It attracts the best talented. Co-workers were very dedicated. It is also a money machine. Compared to pretty much any other large organization, Goldman is the best run with the best talent. It looks great on your resume even if you only stay for a short while, and even if you get out of finance.
Cons
The hours. They can wear you down. Also all the market turmoil on the street the past few years. I faced a lot of travel too, much of which was needless in my opinion. The pace can be a bit much depending on your work group.
