Pros: Supportive director. Supportive account manager.

Cons: The monitoring for the ABO is inhumane; this is definitely not what humans should be doing. The "team lead" Sa****tha from Bangalore is a bully to the onshore associate. It's a shame that Goldman is letting TCS, Infosys, Capgemini, etc., bring their in-house team leads. The Bangalore team needs to understand that there are labor laws in the USA which cannot be fooled around with.

Pros: Excellent benefits. Immediate team supervisors are supportive, invested in the success of their individual team members, and generally very available for advice and explanations. Higher-level individuals followed through on the promise of universal availability for communication. The company does have a degree of awareness of and provides some limited accommodations for certain individual diverse and disabled conditions.

Cons: Perpetual corporate mindset and company cultural pressure to perform to an unhealthy degree and put in more time than is sustainable runs counter to the avowed company goals of work/life balance. Yearly execution of the lowest performing percentages (regardless of team needs) is the stick, the benefits are the carrot. Like many Fortune 500 companies, they talk about support for and accommodation of diversity and disability, and in fact do provide certain accommodations, but only up to a point. This publicly affirmed commitment to diversity and disability is in actuality limited in scope and scale and does not truly support the actual breadth of needs of diverse and disabled individuals – only the convenient accommodations that fall within the scope of the overbearing requirements for continuous overdrive performance. This results in a blind spot of discrimination against the many disabled and diverse segments of the workforce that fall outside of their narrow range of acceptance and willingness to accommodate. This unfortunate practice is prevalent among Fortune 500 companies. Remote culture is actively promoted against, with the corporate culture of in-person communication and meetings being cited as the driving factor by upper-level management, despite the expressed wishes of the common employees to provide more remote workforce options.

Pros: Very good health, medical, dental, and vision benefits. Nice perks like live interviews with famous people in different industries. Lots of opportunity to learn the ins and outs of the financial and investing sector. Nice co-workers.

Cons: Tech salaries are about 10-20% below market. Super strict environment. SEC restrictions abound. They train you every year on the countless reasons for which you can be fired. Very much a "what have you done for me lately" culture. Unless you're an intern or a new college hire, whatever you do is never good enough. The best you can hope for is a neutral "ok, you can keep your job today." Highly political. Fear is the key motivator. High turn-over. Guaranteed layoffs every year of the lowest performing 5-10%. Mgmt not worried about turn-over because they heavily recruit new blood from universities.
