Goldman's coffee culture decoded
Briefly

Goldman Sachs has become more competitive than ever for internships in 2025, selecting only 0.7% of over 360,000 applicants. Interns are encouraged to embody the company's 'coffee culture' by actively reaching out to senior staff. This cultural fit and networking are crucial for converting internships into full-time jobs. Goldman employees stress that while hard work is important, developing strong communication skills and emotional intelligence through social interactions at the firm greatly enhances an intern’s chances of success in securing a future role as an analyst.
Goldman Sachs is hosting about 2,600 interns this year, reflecting a record low acceptance rate of 0.7% from over 360,000 applicants, signifying fierce competition.
Shane Cote, a VP at Goldman, emphasizes the importance of a 'coffee culture' where interns must actively engage with senior staff to build connections.
