Good pay, good management, good corporate culture.
Good pay: You can get started with about £35k as a software engineer, with it rising to about £100k within 5 years or so. If you're unsure about a future in software, then I recommend the business analyst position. It's a nice balance between both of them.
Long hours. Very long hours.
You will routinely be expected to put in 70-80 hours per week. If they want you to come in on weekends, then even longer.
Life at Goldman is certainly very, very difficult.
Rebalance your salaries. The guys at the top are getting paid way too much.
