      Approves of CEO

      I worked at Goldman Sachs full-time for more than 8 years

      Pros

      Structure is really flat, can easily reach out to senior people if required. Work is always challenging.

      Very tight deadlines for projects, do not easily catch up with latest tech trends.

      Former Employee - Anonymous in Melbourne
      Neutral Outlook
      No Opinion of CEO

      I worked at Goldman Sachs for more than a year

      Pros

      Location Pay (even if there are huge gender equality gaps) Local and region collaboration Variety of work

      Cons

      Inequality Disparity Culture Being asked to lie about the above as a manager The exact reason I resigned from the position was due to all the law suits about unfair dismissal. Being associated with the games of the management overseeing the Sydney and Melbourne offices was unacceptable and not morally sound. When issues are raised by management to Directors, Legal and HR they are ignored and unacknowledged.

      Advice to Management

      Pros

      Great place to work, most people are collaborative and approachable.

      Cons

      A handful of disrespectful employees in Asia who do not treat other stakeholders in the same way as they would a client. They need to open their eyes to the fact that nothing is achieved in the greater scale of things without mutual respect, open collaboration and team work.

      Advice to Management

      HR needs to target toxic employees who don't align themselves with the GS principles, culture and values.
