Pros

A good name to have on your CV.

Cons

Overall, working at GS was a profoundly disappointing and demoralizing experience.

  • Very outdated and chaotic approach to software, definitely not a place to learn best practices or learn anything at all, really, in regards to software.
  • Many people there have an over-inflated opinion of their technical abilities, don't listen to advice, and end up making bad decisions.
  • Very poor work-life balance.
  • Very poor communication.
