Pros

Goldman Sachs treats employees very well in terms of benefits and compensation. As touted, the firm truly is a meritocracy that rewards based on results and contribution to the firm. For top performers, the sky is the limit.

There is also a high level of communication from senior management to the employees about current events.

Cons

While the firm promotes work-life balance, it is up to each individual to ensure that they take advantage of it by setting limits.

The global nature of the business often means that you will have to take meetings early in the morning or late at night.

Production Support for your application has the potential to be overbearing.

Advice to Management

Do your best to promote work-life balance amongst your people, especially your best performers. Try to keep the organization flat and open rather than hierarchical.
