Business Outlook
Pros
Lots of great people (although usually under utilized) Pioneer type spirit, and people work long hours to get anything done. Benefits pretty good. Salaries OK, no great ,lots of Flexible working available
Cons
Politics, Politics and more politics at the most senior levels.Huge amount of 'control 'and bureaucracy mainly emanating from the UK. The MD/Board do not seem to understand the international aspect of the GS business, focussing instead on the domestic UK businesses. The best people stay a few years, realize they cannot tolerate the complexity of getting anything done and leave.
