Goldman Sachs Work Experiences

Depends on the team

Salt Lake City, Utah, United States

September 22, 2023

Pros: Supportive director. Supportive account manager.

Cons: The monitoring for the ABO is inhumane; this is definitely not what humans should be doing. The "team lead" Sa****tha from Bangalore is a bully to the onshore associate. It's a shame that Goldman is letting TCS, Infosys, Capgemini, etc., bring their in-house team leads. The Bangalore team needs to understand that there are labor laws in the USA which cannot be fooled around with.
