Goldman name unlocks doors and access. Significant resources for employees to take advantage of, although can be difficult to navigate.

Cons

Limited visibility into strategic decisions by leadership (of my specific team), zero visibility into pay and bonus decisions. Significant turnover.

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.
