Pros

Some of the people here are very nice and welcoming. Goldman Sachs on my resume was definitely a plus. Great place to start - good experience .

Cons

The processes are clunky and technology is absolutely horrible. As an FA, I worked extremely long hours, especially during tax season. For the low and well below market value pay, not worth the long hours and stress (unless you are an Account Manager, because they get paid a ton). They took away tax compensation, which is incredibly unfair for all the hard work and long hours you put in. Worst of all, there is nepotism in the Operations department- as a result they are very biased and management tolerates this. Needless to say, I happily resigned after finding a much better employer. This place is a terrible place to work. Not just the company but this particular office. If you don’t mind dealing with long hours, low pay and unfair nepotism from the exec side than this is the place for you!! Otherwise, please do yourself a favor and steer clear.
