Employee - Vice President
They detract from the reputation of Investment Banks. Unfortunately, the negative stereotypes of money grabbing, non morally centric firm seems to stick.
Employee - Vice President
Goldmans is dedicated to making money, exclusively. It is not an organisation that views service to the customer as even a means to that goal. Fine, if you can get behind money as the only worthy work goal. Not fine, if you want to leave the world a better place for your having participated in it.

Hostile work culture

Would change discrimination
Employee - Vice President
Join a Victoria workhouse. Hours would be better. Takes smart people and breaks them by overloading with grunt work.
Employee - Senior Vice President
Very atypical. Lots of "posting" people, which is really just covering your you know what. Lots of wasting time on management and business decisions, rather than just doing the work and focus on the business. Instead of making good business decisions, many times, decisions are made in fear of specific members of management who might cause problems. Everything is committee-based with groupthink.
Employee - Senior Vice President
They still think they are the Goldman Sachs of yesteryear. Management doesn't realize times have changed and most employees would rather work at Blackstone or Blackrock. They need to lighten up, look around, and attempt to make the work environment more enjoyable now that they can't pay what they used to. Rather than right-size FICC, management has stuck with a business model that is not generating strong profits.
Employee - Senior Vice President
The organization claims to be flat, but it is in fact extremely hierarchical. Endless closed door meetings and it's made very clear who are the haves vs have nots.
Employee - Associate
Culture is dog eat dog. A fight for the last dollar.
Employee - Associate
If you don't work in NY you have a limited future. Stockbrokers are the exception.
Employee - Managing Director
Survival of the fit-est with a giganticenormous POLITI CAL component.
Employee - Managing Director
Completely top down beginning with the CEO.
Employee - Managing Director
They treated us like slaves.
Employee - Analyst
Would change the toxic culture in the Federation divisions; so much red tape and politics
Employee - Vice President
Very frequent changes in the leadership and their strategies. Value of an employee has gone down a lot over the years. Too difficult to Seattle down for people from outside. Tech is not that cutting edge too.
Employee - Vice President
Hard to tell these days. Whatever it is, it does not feel like it aligns to the firm's business principles.
Employee - Vice President
You will be worked hard and hardly compensated for the effort.
Employee - Vice President
Would change Management. Detailed insight into compensation. Better balance of compensation between "revenue" divisions and the "back-office" divisions. Realistic expectations around what can/cannot be achieved. Better insight into proposed or potential projects for the upcoming year.
Employee - Vice President
Would suggest changing leadership
