Pros

Goldman Sachs is #1 Investment bank and was the only bank that survived the market crash. They offer amazing perks for the employees such as free dinners after 6 pm, free car ride homes after 9, free access to the gym, and great food in cafeteria. Goldman's people are some of the most talented people in the world.

Cons

You have about 100 other people doing the same thing as you are so it takes A REALLY long time to move up within the organization. The managers in Human Resources are completely different from the managers on the business side. The business side only hires the best and the most talented individuals however HR consists of people that are NOT talented and not very smart. All of the amazing individuals that are recruited for the company are recruited from the employment agencies where HR is only left with "easy" and administrative functions to set up interviews, screen then in the end (when the team already made a hiring decision) and process offers.
