Goldman Sachs Employee

What do you like about working at Goldman Sachs?

"Big Name. Feels good to work for a top Wall Street Company. In the Midwest."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Just be confident. Like I said, you do not have to be a finance grad to get it. It's just how confident you are. Do not be intimidated by tough questions, at least not in the Salt Lake office. Once you get in you'll realize that people around you are as experienced as our co-workers in NY and London."

What don't you like about working at Goldman Sachs?

"No work life balance. A lot depends on who you know, not how good you do your jobs. Utah is an operations based site. It's a lot of repetitive work. You do not have to be SMART to get into the Salt Lake Office."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Look for quality people, not just Mormons."
