Pros

Ideal place for a person who likes a fast pace.

Great leadership, and they help you groom yourself as a leader.

You get to learn a lot about financial markets. They do a great job of inviting leaders from many streams to learn from their perspectives.

Cons

It is difficult to work flexible hours or from home at a firm like GS. Being in person and on time matters a lot.

As the firm got significantly larger, you feel a bit lost in the org structure, which is not very transparent.

Compensation varies significantly with market swings, so it is not ideal for a person seeking stability.
