Goldman Sachs Work Experiences

"Politics" and arrogance trump hard work and professionalism
Vice President - Technology • Former Employee
New York, New York, United States
January 18, 2017
Pros: - Definitely looks good on your resume. Will ensure that recruiters call back if you plan on staying in finance.
- Opportunity to work with teams across global regions.
Cons: - Arrogance and rudeness abound. I've seen a lot of it as people get more senior.
- People putting in lots of work don't get the same recognition as those that just play up to management.
- Trying to change teams or leave is like a bad breakup. Management does not handle it well.
- Compensation is below standard but justified because "the culture you get is like nowhere else" (quote from an MD on why the pay isn't better).
