      Ops Downside > Upside

      16 May 2023 - Senior Analyst in Singapore
      Recommend
      CEO Approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      People are really nice in Goldman. They mean it when they preach about the collaborative culture. Managers are super capable and dependable for escalations.

      Cons

      The higher you rise, the more tiring it is. While all my managers are super capable, the workload is not sustainable, considering Ops pay - that's why a lot of graduate hires leave at the Associate level for better pay and less work. Mgmt is not transparent at all about restructuring and you get bombed out of the blue with changes in mgmt.
