if you are only concerned about package then GS pays off good fortune, but for work ethics, learning, work life balance and work satisfactions it is a disappointment. lots and lots of internal politics no well defined structure of work, its all about working in a fashion to get in eyes of upper management, no matter you actually work or not. Also, no job security, your performance does not matter when it comes to retaining, its all about how highly you are paid.

Dislikes

Everything about Goldman is amazing!

Dislikes

The differentiation that they have in their compensation between Tier 1 and Tier 2 colleges. It’s maintained even after joining and in promotions. Tier1 get better bonuses simply because they are from a Tier1 college.

Goldman Sachs offers a very conducive work environment and will help any individual build a strong professional network of smart and highly thoughtful people. As for job security, there was recently a round of layoffs in the Bengaluru and Hyderabad offices, but the Risk division remained largely unimpacted by it, as this is a more federation mid/back office role.

Dislikes

The compensation is not very competitive anymore. Gone are the days (roughly 5 years ago or older) when Goldman Sachs was ranked among the top paymasters in IITs and other engineering colleges. This can also be felt in how the firm treats its employees, they are aggressively looking to cut costs with perks and other basic office facilities. Work at Goldman Sachs can also be very monotonous in that daily deliverables are simply regulatory reports that are submitted daily, with only the data being refreshed every day. Not too relevant to the analytics & reporting roles, but Goldman Sachs has often been criticized for the age-old tech stacks and infrastructure in place, which hindered progress many times. As others have opined, do agree with the statement that promotions do not hold a lot of value at Goldman Sachs.
