      Doesn't Recommend
      Negative Outlook
      No opinion of CEO

      I have been working at Goldman Sachs full-time for more than a year

      Pros

      Bright people, type A personalities, energetic culture

      Cons

      Lots of people fighting to make "strategic" decisions (to be noticed for promotion) while the MDs sit back and rake in cash. Superficial culture; a lot of smiling up front and lots of trash talking behind people's backs. People love to gloat over the Goldman brand but in reality they are underpaid and work twice as much as anyone else. You want proof? Excluding management, the average tenure is less than 2 years.... Chicago branch is able to sustain itself because of the large inflow of applicants wanting to be part of the prestigious GS brand. Little do they know the majority of the GS divisions are carried by the profitable few.

      Advice to Management

      Nothing. Continue to dwell in the 1% of the GS population and be paid the majority of the net income.
