Pros

There are a lot of Smart people working at Goldman Sachs. There is a lot of co-operation across team and I haven't seen that at similar sized organizations. At Goldman's size things move around fast.They pay quite good relative to others in the industry.

Cons

Long hours can be a issue but it totally depends on which group you belong to. There is a general impression that hours at GS are pretty long which is true if you wanna paint the whole place with a single brush stroke. They are a little late in adopting new technology

Pros

Collaborative culture in technology, exposure to international teams, benefits package, good pay, emphasis on workplace flexibility at least in my group, large incoming new analyst class so it gives you a large network to utilize, early exposure to many aspects of the industry and large-scale challenges faced even at the entry level, and a great emphasis on continued training and community involvement.

Cons

Longer work hours (50+), not as creative as other industries like entertainment or non-finance-based business, hard to move from one division to another, a very self-segregating culture, and easy to feel inferior when compared to revenue-generating divisions.
