      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.

      Pros

      In the IT world, there is a great team spirit, when it comes to people working on the same level. Many people are willing to help out - but then again, I think that is IT community and not just in Goldman. There are many resources to go to for help and many chances to do what you like, if you're willing to work for it. Most people I have worked with in IT are very open and willing to help. Also, let's be honest, Goldman does have a reputation of the bonuses and, compared to other places, it delivers upon those rumors.

      Cons

      There is very little encouragement for balancing work with everything else - it is assumed that people have to work a lot. There is a great deal of politics, if you cannot or do not want to play by that, you will not get far, nor will you want to. There is always much to do and no time to do it, and obviously, everything is top priority. Multi-tasking often translates into "multi-head-ache-causing" tasking
