Pros

None till date at Goldman Sachs

Cons

If you wana work in a place where you are expected to keep your head down and work based on the process/policies and not expected to use your brains then you my dear have come to the right place. Goldman Sachs expects this and nothing else from you right from day one, even in case you have an idea you need approvals to get your idea discussed or displayed. For this approvals you need to be the best in licking boots and being the best books of your seniors not to forget talk with a American accent to sound posh. Apparently here the VP’s and above think they are doing a privilege by staying in India and working here. By default they have a superiority complex that is so high that even pizza is eaten with a folk and knife and anything apart from that makes u “desi” or uncultured. The campus recruitment team is one of the most confused lot and set in medieval mind set. They assume they are day 1 company by default in all IIT and IIM and their process to hire is set during the stone ages with paper and pen evaluation techniques and off course the interviewers gets an accent as soon as he starts with the first questions. The so called CLT team Campus Leadership Team is a bunch of boot lickers who have survived decades and continue to eat pizza with a folk and knife. Apparently cure fit food is a new mantra they need to eat and discuss how much weight they lost during lunch breaks. The CLT are the set of folks who call the shots in the team and expect all to dance on their tunes. Eg team dinner location is decided by these mighty humans cause they think their food habits are better than the rest !

Pros

You’ll get to work with the latest technologies depending on the team you’re in and also have a decent work-life balance. They give you a good amount of vacation days and let you use them whenever you want. You get to work with people who are good and smart and barely hear of any bad people who make your life hard. Taking internal mobility to other teams would also be super easy out here and they encourage it.

Cons

The pay increases are very bad. As you get promoted and grow, your pay will only increase about 3-5% no matter how good your performance is and you’ll feel like you’re barely beating inflation if you’re lucky. Your pay will be massively under the market for your role. Not to mention, there’s a huge risk of layoffs and it happens twice a year. You’ll end up being a part of it if you’re working from home a lot or express your dissatisfaction with your pay (although they mostly brush it off as a performance or a budget/role issue). The risk you take from the layoffs is not worth the reward you get. If you’re taking this job and reading this review, just consider this job as a stone you can step on while looking for another job to switch to
