Goldman Sachs Work Experiences

Contractors are underutilized
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
New York, New York, United States
June 27, 2016
Pros: Good and knowledgeable people to work along with.
Good training programs are available for employees.
Employee perks, such as healthcare and gym memberships, are very good.
Cons: They underutilize contractors. Even though you have good experience, the work they give to contractors is trivial. If you are used to an environment where deployments and builds are done by a different team, you will find it difficult. There are no testing teams and no deployment teams. The developer does everything.

Learning Curve, But Promotions Biased
Vice President Engineering • Former Employee
New York, New York, United States
March 20, 2020
Pros: You will learn a lot about the business function you are embedded in.
Cons: Everything is a priority.
Regional bias plays into promotions. More junior staff in high-value locations are promoted more quickly than staff in NY or London.
The ranking of individuals by management and the subsequent elimination of the bottom 5%-10% causes people to continually look over their shoulders.
