Posted by • July 26th, 2011 • 7 Comments

The financial services industry took quite a hit during the recession, with extensive layoffs and scandals marring many a company’s reputation. Employees at many of these institutions have had a difficult time trying to ride the recession’s tide and are continuing to struggle to regain the prestige many held before the fall of 2008.

As the industry fights against a badly damaged public perception, Glassdoor’s Financial Services Report card charts how companies and their CEOs in this category have fared over the past two years according to employees.

Goldman Sachs: An Insider Perspective

Posted by • October 27th, 2009 • 2,584 Comments

Goldman Sachs has been in the spotlight as of late, namely due to excessive financial compensation for some of the company’s top brass. Case in point, protesters recently gathered outside the Chicago office to ask the company to donate its entire projected $23 billion bonus pool to prevent every foreclosure in America.

We dug into the company reviews to see how employees are faring, and how they perceive the company. We thought that if anyone was to be offended by the large sums of money given to top executives at the company it would be the employees. We assumed wrong.

In a breakdown of Goldman Sachs’ company rating*, employees report highly of compensation and benefits at the company giving it a 3.9 (satisfied) rating, and also report high marks for the senior leadership. In fact, Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd C. Blankfein has one of the highest approval ratings among CEOs listed on Glassdoor with an 86% approval rating and 3% disapproval, while the company achieves a 3.8 (satisfied) overall rating.
