I have a security engineer (associate) interview coming up @Goldman Sachs. Was just wondering how is the WLB and overall feel of working there. Also, appreciate any tips on how the interview process works. #interview #goldmansachs #security #goldmansachs #goldmanbonus #amazon #meta #microsoft #apple #google

Don’t join. It’s a team that invent unnecessary process for getting softwares to prod. Developing softwares take one week, getting codes released through SDLC, conduit deployment, approval, security, testing, techrisk compliance via broken and undocumented toolings … take 3 month. And your job duty is to make it take even longer time. Invent as much process as possible, make the internal tooling as convoluted as possible, and make the life of developers as miserable as possible.
Thanks for the info
Between conduit and CFT im amazed that we have anything running in prod.
Let me quote VP Harris. “Dont come! Dont come! “
Don’t do it lmao
lol, bruh
hey howd the interview go? i am also at kpmg cyber and thinking about applying in a month or 2
Didn’t go too bad. Walked through resume and asked some basic questions. Hiring Manager told me I would have to be in office 5x a week (full in-office). Seems like a very long hiring process, would have to do 4 more interviews after that initial with the hiring manager. Don’t really think it’s worth it for what I’m looking for personally (career wise).
5x a week is crazy… did they say anything about if there are technical interviews

Why is our country owned by Israel? I don't want my tax dollars fund genocide. How can we stop this nonsense?
WLB depends which team you end up in. Overall, GS is known for not so good wlb. Gs is having lot of process in place for techrisk org and how applications goes through the lifecycle etc. and pretty robust and at times bureaucratic processes. Pain point is you will have to do all these tasks with internally developed systems which are clunky and not under one umbrella
Thanks for the insight. From a growth perspective, as far as developing relevant skills that are transferable and then also moving up the ladder. Is there opportunity for both?
I’d say don’t join like below .. but if coming from kpmg.. at least you can ask for more money than whatever you currently have and be ready for the hell ride like described below
