Goldman Sachs Reviews

Pros

Very nice and very good

Cons

NA. EVERYTHING IS GOOD OK

Pros

People are really nice in Goldman. They mean it when they preach about the collaborative culture. Managers are super capable and dependable for escalations.

Cons

The higher you rise, the more tiring it is. While all my managers are super capable, the workload is not sustainable, considering Ops pay - that's why a lot of graduate hires leave at the Associate level for better pay and less work. Mgmt is not transparent at all about restructuring and you get bombed out of the blue with changes in mgmt.

Pros

Motivated staff, overall good working environment

Cons

Lean company structure, everyone works extremely hard but they are generous with time off

Pros

Work life balance and salary

Cons

None I can think of

Cons

Pay gap seen, work can be very demanding

Pros

Relatively good welfare package and flexi work arrangements, strong mentorship culture and giving/receiving help is encouraged.

Cons

- Engineering/BI folks still largely seen/treated as “helpdesk” by middle/front office and are talked down to by some - In Sg, there are undertones of cronyism and favoritism flowing from the top , a known issue which is swept under the rug and largely disregarded

Pros

International exposure, meritocracy, sense of purpose

Cons

Long hours, less recognition, stress

Pros

GS rewards those that put in hardwork, you have to sacrifice worklife but in exchange for good benefits and above mkt salary. Co-workers are generally nice to work with.

Cons

Perfectionist culture - not for everyone Fast paced - Client centric, so clients may be demanding and you need to respond timely
