Pros

Environment is fast paced, fun, and classy. Everyone is smart and driven. I just did training, and it was long and hard. I think it will perhaps be harder than my real job. As compared to other financials, the pay was a touch lower, but the bonuses are promised to be bigger.

Cons

Long hours. Bonus is very dependent on Firm performance.

Pros

Career development, professional growth. You get great experience and gain a lot of confidence working for Goldman. You get great exposure to the financial industry, as well as cutting-edge trading technology. You work long hours, but management is flexible as far as taking time off and leaving the office a little early, etc. Salary is pretty good as well, but not as exceptional as most people think.

Cons

Long hours, lots of work, pressure, deadlines. You also get the feeling that compensation is not distributed fairly enough, like it's based more on popularity and politics than contributions.
