Goldman Sachs

American multinational investment bank and financial services provider Goldman Sachs With regional headquarters in London, Warsaw, Bangalore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Dallas, and Salt Lake City, as well as additional offices in major global financial hubs, Goldman Sachs was founded in 1869 and has its main office at 200 West Street in Lower Manhattan. Goldman Sachs is the second-largest investment bank in the world by revenue and is listed as the 57th-largest American company by total revenue on the Fortune 500 list. The Financial Stability Board classifies it as a systemically important financial institution.

There have been allegations of unethical behavior on the part of the organization, including but not limited to: engaging in business with totalitarian regimes; maintaining cozy ties to the U.S. federal government through a “revolving door” of former employees; and manipulating the price of commodities through futures trading.

Despite being featured on Fortune's list of the 100 Best Companies to Work For, primarily due to its high compensation levels, the company has also been criticized by its employees for its 100-hour work weeks, high levels of employee dissatisfaction among first-year analysts, abusive treatment by superiors, a lack of mental health resources, and extremely high levels of stress in the workplace leading to physical discomfort.

Founded: 1869
Headquarters: New York, U.S.
