Pros

I have been working at GS for a while, and overall, I would say that it has been a positive experience. One of the biggest pros of working here is the good pay, which is definitely above average for the industry.

Additionally, the co-workers are smart and motivated, which creates a great work environment. Another advantage of working at GS is that having this company on your resume can make it easier to find another Fintech job in the market. This is because GS is a big company with a strong reputation in the industry, which is highly valued by other companies.

Furthermore, GS has a lot of teams, which means that you can easily switch to a different team if you are not interested in your current work. This provides great opportunities for career growth and development.

Cons

There are some cons to working at GS. The technology stack is somewhat out of date, which can make it challenging to work on cutting-edge projects. The IT systems are also quite difficult to use, which can slow down productivity. Lastly, there are too many meetings, which can sometimes feel like a waste of time.
