Goldman Sachs

American global 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. On the Fortune 500 list of the largest American corporations by total revenue, Goldman Sachs is the 57th largest company and the second largest investment bank in the world by revenue. The Financial Stability Board regards it as a systemically important financial institution.

The business has come under fire for having lax ethical standards, doing business with autocratic governments, maintaining tight ties to the US government through a "revolving door" of former employees, and speculating on commodity futures to drive up prices. The company has 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 that cause physical discomfort, even though it has made Fortune's list of the 100 Best Companies to Work For.
