Pros

This firm has a wealth of talented people (although you might not get to interact with them depending on your role). Many people here find it a prestige to work at GS.

Cons

Limited opportunities to move across business functions and inter-departments. Lack of communication from management of what's going on within the firm and in the financial markets. Whether you'll find the firm a great place to work also depends a great deal on the people you work with. It could be fun and rewarding with the right people but stressful and unproductive with arrogant, self-righteous co-workers and managers.

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.
