Is Goldman Sachs a bad place to work?

Question

I read that Goldman Sachs pays a lot, but you're expected to work 90 hours a week.

Also, you can't show any creativity or individuality.

Also, you have to be white (essentially) to work there.

Also, if you miff someone for any reason, they can blackball you for promotion, so you have to be perfect all the time.

It sounds kind of scary, I just wanted to know. I hear that Kwame Jackson of the first season of the Apprentice worked there, and he had to quit his job to appear on the show. And they don't let people come back after leaves of absence like that.

Answer 1

Goldman is a FABULOUS company! It's a great place for Investment bankers! They make tons of money. Bankers and employees are personable.

I don't know if one HAS to be white to work there. The lack of minority bankers, is due to black men or women, not going into the investment banking field, as a career, and not going to top colleges, where Goldman recruits prospective employees.

You must play by the rules if you want to be in the game! You have to learn to play by the rules, which is true anywhere you work. Don't rock the boat. Show up on time and shut your mouth, you'll do fine. Investment Bankers do not need to show creativity or individuality.
