"By way of background: Twelve years ago, right out of college, I worked at Goldman Sachs for two years. The training program was all about culture. Keep your head down. Never get your name in the newspaper. Wear conservative blue or white Oxford shirts and don't ever be ostentatious in public. Goldman, the partners told us, swore by the corporate philosophy of "long-term greedy," as set out by the revered Gustave Levy, senior partner at the firm in the early 1970s. The stated ethos was to turn down easy money and build relationships. So walk on eggshells, kid—and fix your tie". -- Roben Farzad, author.
