Lack of intellectual curiosity
Lack of intellectual curiosity
Brand name is strong. Good to have on a resume.
Abundant arrogance. In general, "goldmanites" think that there is nothing better out there, so quite often, especially in technology, they end up with a quite narrow intellectual horizon.
Foster creativity. Compared to Google and other Silicon Valley companies, Goldman engineers are intellectual midgets.
