RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at Goldman Sachs full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
They take care of their people in every way. Very impressive facility at the NYC headquarters, with all the comforts. Strong corporate structure to make sure no one is misused. Good, transparent leadership.
Cons
Not really a con, but not a lot of handholding if you are a slow learner. They expect top-tier, smart work from every employee. If you want to move up from an administrative position, you will have to lobby for it - nothing will just fall in your lap here.

RecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Goldman Sachs full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Looks great on your resume, decent benefits/perks, love the sense of belonging to the global goldman network
Lots of very smart people to work with and interesting projects to work on
Good flexibility optionsCons
Very long working days (10 hour minimum), salary not as good as it could be given the higher time commitment.
Every team is understaffed. Work day is super intense, no time for a breather (no lunch break!!)
Need to play the politics in order to get promoted. Hard work alone is insufficient.Advice to Management
More visibility into promotions.
Shorten the work week to the normal 8 hours per day. Hire more people.Goldman Sachs 2019-02-16 03:26 PST![Goldman Sachs Logo]()

StarStarStarStarStarPros
Great culture - Great networking opportunities - Great pay - Looks great on resume
Cons
Often times supervisors are to busy to talk to you and give you input/guidance. Also, it takes a long time to gain access to necessary computer programs.
Advice to Management
Touch bases with interns more often.
