Pros

Name recognition and compensation. If you're looking to get highly paid as a technologist for mediocre work, Goldman is the place to be.

Cons

Too much support work, too little software engineering. There is a lack of communication and knowledge of the systems. "Trial by fire" is how I mostly learn about things here. People don't know about the systems, so it's a "dig through the code" process here whenever there are problems. Not the place to be if your are a pure technologist. However, Goldman pays well for such mediocre work.
