      Pros

      Excellent group of people to work with. Worked with professionals from around the world.

      Cons

      Consensus driven work culture may not appeal to all. Decision making is driven by multiple teams/agents.

      Advice to Management

      None

    3. "Great place to work with other top talent"

      StarStarStarStarStar
        Current Employee - Associate 

        I have been working at Goldman Sachs full-time

        Pros

        Working with really smart people provides lots of opportunities to learn from the best. Great opportunities to move internally.

        Cons

        High chance of working for managers that don’t care about developing their people.

        Positive Outlook
        Approves of CEO

        I worked at Goldman Sachs full-time for more than 19 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.
