Goldman Sachs M&A Product Group: Thoughts?

I recently received a summer analyst offer from Goldman Sach's M&A product group within NY IBD. I was told that the group works on shareholder activism, structured M&A, and M&A capital markets and works with the various industry groups; however, everyone I know has never heard of it. Does anyone know what this group is like? Does it have solid exit opps (PE/CorpDev)? Do you get interesting deal exposure?

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Worked on a deck with an intern in M&A cap markets. Mostly used their team for data and some insights whereas the majority of the analysis was built out by the industry group. Think that’s how it is across the board, but just an anecdote.
