Pros
Hmm.. uhh. hmm.. nopes doesn't ring a bell. Salary, may be, for some folks.
Cons
1. Work life balance :It is non-existent. I have seen people clocking 12 hours consistently for week after weeks for no apparent reasons (not that they are overworked or anything, that's just the way they roll ) One reason might be that Managers look at how many hours you are spending in office rather than the actual amount of work that you have done in a day. 2. Pay package: I had heard Goldman pays way above industry average. Didn't happen in my case (may be depends on profile or negotiations at the start). 3. Appraisal system: Seems very rigged to me. Basically it is like 360 degrees but if you know people (if you have good networking skills) then it is just like asking for testimonials from your friends on Orkut (RIP). 4. Hiring process: Won't comment about campus hires, but for laterals, they just take way too long to arrive at a decision. People are kept on hold for 2-3 months. 5. Culture: A general desire for change is lacking. 6. Propriety Software: They use 20+ years old IDE (or may be older).You won't be adding anything to your CV after working on it.
