Worked for over a decade. Never looked to work elsewhere
I have been working here at GS for over a decade and really enjoy my work as a technologist.
I get to work on a lot of interesting platforms and have not even written a resume.
The pay is excellent. The firm is moving in the direction of creating a work environment similar to tech companies.
I do telecommute mostly one day per week, and it helps immensely with managing my other-than-work-life.
Overall, I do recommend GS to technologists, depending on your interests.
Given it's a bank with stringent regulations, the work does come with a lot of scrutiny, unlike tech companies where developers are quite relaxed and that probably leads to less stress.
The working hours depend on the kind of work and dedication. I would definitely say it's not for those looking for 9-5 or staring at their watch to go home. I don't recall anyone asking me to stay back against my wish, but I do work long hours, as it helps me with the work and, of course, my career.
More transparency between senior and junior folks so everyone can mingle and set a great work environment.
Value all work a worker does, not just the exciting new ideas/work. This will leave other employees with no proportionate comparison and lower morale, which is unhealthy.
