Pros: Goldman Sachs offered me a rotational program internship as a Sophmore. I rotated through Investment Banking, Securities, Investment Management, and Research units. Great experience to see all parts of the Goldman business. Everybody treated me extremely well and welcomed me to the company. I'm very thankful for the opportunity that Goldman gave us. Cons: This was more of an educational experience and recruiting internship than a get things done experience. Advice for other students: There were only 10 of us, so highly selective.
