      Obsessed with image, only able to retain talent through high compensation

      Legal analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good compensation, looks excellent on CV and business-school applications as a reputable "anchor" employer. Able to make some valuable connections at the peer level (but not with more senior employees).

      Cons

      Horrendous culture, upper management treats analysts and associates with limited respect, materialistic and judgmental employees, no company spirit beyond serving self interest and patting each other on the back about being at GS. Not to mention utterly pathetic HR department unable to resolve any office conflicts.

      The most horrible working experience ever

      Analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The only good thing is the good entry-level salary

      Cons

      Night shift, stressful environment, poor training, unfriendly colleagues in my team The onboarding process was so different from what they told me during the interview and I didn't feel welcomed and respected at all. I was poorly trained by a senior analyst as he's only focusing on his work most of the time. There were not enough drilling exercises/guidance but I was expected to be skilled in some new tools just within 2 days. There's also no second chance for me to improve. It's very unfair to fire someone without providing any reasons and I feel like I was being treated like disposable garbage.

      Not as elite as you expected

      Associate

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Let you know how to survive in a non-friendly environment

      Cons

      Everyone wants to leave the team/firm; no team spirit, no mentoring, just hard-coded "rules" and forms
