Pros

Having enormous expectations before joining the firm I was still overwhelmed by the level of people I was surrounded at Goldman Sachs. It is truly the best financial services firm out there.

Cons

The downside was as expected - long working hours are a part of the investment banking career, and my experience at Goldman was not an exception.

Pros

Great benefits (medical, dental, life insurance, 401k) and PTO package. Lots of opportunities to get involved and network across the firm and in the community.

Cons

For many teams, the salary is not competitive for other companies. High stress.
