Goldman Sachs offers one of the most structured early-career entry points in finance, with repeatable internships and full-time analyst pathways across regions and divisions. The hiring steps are unusually well-documented for a firm of this size, and the company backs that up with formal training and broad benefits. The main limiter is outcomes: public signals show both strong promotion pathways and recurring performance-cycle cuts, with limited hard data on intern conversion and early-career retention.
