    Just. Don't.

    Pros

    Great benefits, and 20-35 days of PTO depending on your level. 72 hrs of paid sick time off, and 10 paid holidays. That's about it.

    Cons

    1) 5 days a week in-office (don't let them fool you), and if you have to be off desk, or on PTO, it's culture to put WHY YOU'RE ON PTO on the cal invite! Legit. People will put Name - OOO (in parenthesis, the reason they're on PTO) 2) Office culture is awful, and leadership is cold and uncaring. It's a very cliquey culture, too. People talk trash about everyone behind their backs but act nice to your face. Managers have their favorites, which they make very obvious; if you're not on their list you will feel it. Most management sits in NY, so they have VPs in other offices reporting on your whereabouts and how you're doing on the team. 3) Not actual recruiting - there are a lot of administrative responsibilities. You will be on more projects than actual recruiting. They love their data and you have to pull a ton of reports all the time. I could go on...

    sounds like a good deal but is it?

    Pros

    company name look pretty on resume, sounds like high paying job

    Cons

    if you make 80k for working 80 hours a week, it is same as making 40k for working 40 hours a week. but without they telling you the hours, it does sounds like a high paying job, when i search on google, the first suggestion is "goldman sachs layoff" so definitely no feeling of job security most people that i know worked for goldman sachs just mainly sound more show-off-ish/ prideful, will tell you houw prestige their company is and pretending wanting to help you get a job in GS too, but when actually ask them about it they will ghost you. so i was waiting for the interview, the interviewer didnt show up. As i wait i did a little analysis reading the review here, so out of 12,901 reviews, 574 of them are 1star, 805 of them are 2stars, at least 1,921 are 3stars, I dont have the exact number for how many 3 stars because i stop counting as i reach page 330 and decide to stop waiting. also, the salary range for entry analyst start at 40k, not 60k.
