      Pros

      Goldman Sachs has a good reputation. I was in Technology, and liked the fact that I was able to pick up some finance knowledge too. Also, from what I have heard, they consider sponsoring your MBA. You can get good experience in the area of interacting with users, gathering requirements, etc.

      Cons

      I did not like my co-workers. Many of them were stuck up and not helpful. Goldman Sachs does not believe in documentation, which sucks big time for a newcomer. When I tried to write some documentation, I was discouraged and was told that unit tests themselves are documentation (I have no idea how). Quality of technical work is not good.

      Pros

      Everyone was very helpful when working on projects. When I was given a difficult task, I found it easy to reach out to others in the office for assistance and guidance. I soon learned who to go for to solve specific problems.

      Cons

      There is a difference in urgency in the office between the Salt Lake and New York offices. In Salt Lake, a project will get done eventually, but not as quickly as it would in New York.

      Pros

      While the work hours are long, even in difficult economic times you will be fairly compensated. While the defintion of 'fairly' has changed recently, they are stil ahead of the competition in realizing that they must retain their best people. I If you are aggressive and motivated you will succeed here. At the very least, it is a great place to start a career and looks great on a resume.

      Cons

      The hours are long. The compensation has decreased. There is not much glory or prestige in finance at the moment.
