Goldman Sachs distressed trading desk - good place to be?

Does anyone have any input on Goldman’s distressed trading desk? Am talking about their Global Markets Division (I think it sits together with the high yield team).

Any thoughts on culture, long-term prospects, type of trades/work etc much appreciated.
