Pros

-Overall recognition (by peers, family, other employers) that you work for one of the top companies in the world -Best benefits package I've ever received -Excellent coworkers that share a strong desire to succeed. You will be challenged at GS, but will be seen and appropriately rewarded for your efforts by senior management -Strong ability for promotion and growth based on your performance -Ongoing training programs are great, they also offer tuition reimbursement -Chance to work with many divisions, even internationally

Cons

-Long hours, which is to be expected at a large investment bank -Takes longer to have ideas implemented as they are a large company with many moving parts -Can take a while to learn the various divisions, to see where you fit in and where you want to go next

Pros

Diverse firm, with lots of opportunities available to you. Overall high level of competency, as compared to competitors, from entry level to upper management. Extremely devoted and loyal staff, who are truly interested in helping the firm as a whole, and in working together efficiently and effectively.

Cons

It can be difficult to move around cross-divisionally, depending on where you are coming from. They have a formal internal mobility process established, but largely due to the caliber of people they have, and the caliber of people they attract, it can take very long to more yourself to a position you want to be in, if it happens at all.
