Goldman Sachs

As a new joiner, you are given space to learn on small projects; it's like learning to bring code from college-sized projects to production.

Learn to have a growth mindset with the review process.

Depending on the team, you will be working with modern tech stacks and get a lot of ownership.

-Tech is an afterthought. The business side is most important, and engineering does not get compensated or respected as much as it should.

-If you are a good communicator, you will be thrown into product management roles and will spend less time growing your technical skills.

-The products built for internal users are never quite built out enough. They are built to get the job done but ultimately not given enough resources to grow. Not the place if you want to work on problems of scale.

Pay young tech talent more in their first 5 years. Invest more on long-term internal products. Continue enforcing modern tech stacks onto all teams. Put tech at the forefront of initiatives and get the business to understand engineers are not tech support, but equals in reaching goals.
