Goldman Sachs SURVEY SAYS


Satisfaction [8.75]
•  "Job is fulfilling, but quite tiring. Tough to get enough sleep."
•  "Can't imagine a better group of people to work with. The product our desk trades is extremely interesting and touches almost every corner of the market. Very intellectually stimulating."
•  "They could do a better job of promotion as well as placement into areas that are a good fit and utilize skill sets. It's more of the individual's responsibility to seek out affinity groups and external projects to help find fulfillment."
•  "I enjoy my job immensely."

Tips from the inside

 

Selectivity[8.89]
•  "Candidates are vetted very thoroughly, going through an on-campus recruiting process and then a second-round Super Day process at a Goldman office—a rigorous process that involves a series of two-on-one interviews. The firm looks for candidates that have the drive, passion, and comprehension to quickly step in and make a difference. Adaptability and being able to quickly digest a steep learning curve are necessities."
•  "Extremely competitive process. Strong candidates are those who stand out academically, have significant work experience and have a well-rounded list of activities outside of the classroom."
•  "Candidates should have strong background in the following: leadership, academic achievement, communication and teamwork."
