Goldman Sachs reviews

Too many managers all trying to tick the right boxes. The fear of questioning the status quo is unhealthy. Felt a bit like that film 'The Firm'. If you don't conform, then you will be managed out.

• Work/Life balance. I was fortunate to work in a division that offered overtime, however extra hours were always available and it was strongly encouraged to work extra. • Stress- Do more with less seems to be the philosophy here. Departments seem to be understaffed, overworked, and undertrained. Management seems to be reactive to change in staffing rather than proactively working to make the day easier for employees. Turnover is extremely high for a company of this caliber in the division I was in. • Pay - pay is subpar, and employees are discouraged from discussing this with each other. Annual raises, bonuses, and promotional increases could use some work to be in the same league as other companies. • Internal promotion can be difficult depending on the needs of your team. The firm tends to hire outside, and tends to promote management more frequently than those that work in operations. There’s not a lot of transparency about career pathing, and that heavily impacts morale.
