Goldman Sachs Special Situations Group Info

Hey – I am a sophomore currently recruiting for SA 2023 roles. I am particularly interested in IB RX with a background in distressed PE, and I recently noticed that GS has a Special Situations group.

I'm assuming it is some sort of an investing group with GS, but I would greatly appreciate some insights into what they do and the career trajectory (I haven't been able to find much recent news about them).
