Pros
  • I'd heard of GS as the bank with top tech talent before joining, and it didn't disappoint me. Our team was using MongoDB at its nascent stage, along with a few other newest technologies.

  • Relatively collaborative work environment.

  • Office events like the Xmas white elephant game, Thanksgiving celebration, etc.

  • Compensation is encouraging to stay.

Cons
  • Tech managers lack a management style; they are rigid and can't be trusted as a sounding board.
  • No one explains the promotion process clearly. Mid-management is bad at this.
  • Management cares less about you than themselves.
