        Business Outlook

        Pros

        - Decent starting pay for an entry level role in IT - In other departments other than IT, culture is fun and inclusive - There were opportunities to learn and grow in the field, there was support for further education

        Cons

        - Rotating management and hierarchy - Less than ideal work-life balance as all priorities were always "top priority" and rushing to get things through

          Pros

          None that I can think of.

          Cons

          Worst time in my career! Toxic! I don't recommend the Finance/Tax/AccountingDepartment. Also I don't recommend their so-called relocation package. Nepotism. In my opinion I was misled on several fronts and suffered major emotional trauma as a consequence; after 8 interviews! I became ill after they made it msndatory that I stay only on their property and eat their food, but wanted me to repay them money they ready took from me!!! I went to the office each day by walking thru clouds of cigarette smoke with bloody nose after the first week. No flexibility to live comfortably during temp living until I found a home in Vegas. Run!!!

                Was not horrible but HR had a high turnover as well as security and the the place seemed empty at times like they had no workers. Current employess tell new hires about the "good old days". Pay was low

                      Did i just shoot my foot today?? I had an interview and the HR asked me whats my current salary and how much im expecting in the role im applying for. I told her im on above 50s right now and Im looking for mid 60s to 70s. She said perfect! Did I undersell my self? I have 17 yrs of experience in retail, commercial ant mortgage banking. I well prepared how to answer this question but didnt happened as planned. The HR talks so fast that i got caught off guard.

                      Workforce Management Analyst

                      Interviewing at Goldman Sachs as a Workforce Specialist. Did the HR screening and then interviewed with direct manager + another specialist- behavioral questions/experience. Called me the next day to interview with Workforce Management Supervisor. I didn’t see much info but when I did Google I saw that it could either be a “fit” interview, or more technical. Any insight on what I might expect? 😭 Still in school and would die to just get in with GS to transition over later.

                      Project Coordinator

                      I have applied for a Graduate Financial Planning Analyst & and I have been invited for an assessment& interview, but when I looked back on the JD I have just noticed that they ask for a 2:1 degree , but I have a 2:2 ( due to some personal issues I had 3rd year) However in my CV the I didn’t mention my grade and during the application process I wasn’t asked. What do I do now? Just let the hiring manager know about directly or mention it during the interview first thing? Whats best solution?
