Pros

Surrounded by extremely high-quality talent, which is a great environment for personal development. Talent development processes are robust and rigorously tracked. Career progress is well understood. Internal mobility program affords great exposure across products and geographies.

Cons

Long hours and difficult work/life balance are definite features of a career in GS's "front office."

Pros

The firm encourages and supports to change teams, which is helpful in expanding experience or moving away if you aren't happy with your team

Cons

The promotion has become very opaque lately. They hardly give out promotions, but make you slog and overwork the whole year in the name of it. Basically, you have worked 200% and made to look like a fool by the end of the year.
