3. Goldman Sachs

3. Goldman Sachs

What: A dream place to work for aspiring investment bankers, but also increasingly looking good for computer scientists, programmers and engineers. CEO Lloyd Blankfein likes to refer to Goldman Sachs as a "tech company."

The bank is changing how it hires (goodbye brain-teasers) and provides feedback to its younger employees. It also went through a period of "juniorization," where more younger people have been hired, especially in the operations, tech, and compliance units.

Perks: Expect five-star amenities such as a huge subsidized canteen, a gym with memberships that work like a progressive tax, and dry cleaner on site.

The company told LinkedIn that their employees are "challenged by interesting work."

Perks: Offers a "marketplace" featuring various perks, education reimbursement, and most importantly, sabbatical programs that can run up to six months for "personal or professional growth opportunities."
