It smells like team spirit at The Blackstone Group and Goldman Sachs, which apparently have the proudest employees of all the top investment banks, according to a recent survey. The folks at Wall Street Oasis have put together several rankings of investment banks after analyzing data and comments from their employees.
To come up with their rankings, they analyzed data on all 5,000 companies that are in their database and thousands of rankings from Wall Street Oasis members. Today they’ve released their rankings in the areas of pride and prestige.
