Based on the most helpful WSO content, Goldman Sachs has been known to provide some branded merchandise and perks for their summer analysts. While specific items can vary year to year, here’s what has been shared:

  1. Merch/Swag:

    • Items like duffle bags, vests, water bottles, and notebooks have been mentioned in similar contexts for other banks. While Goldman-specific details aren't explicitly listed, it's common for top-tier banks to provide branded gear.
  2. Lunch/Dinner/Uber Perks:

    • Many banks, including Goldman Sachs, typically offer meal stipends or reimbursements for late-night dinners when working long hours.
    • Uber or transportation reimbursements are often provided after a certain time in the evening to ensure interns can get home safely.

If you're looking for more specific details, it might be worth checking with current or recent interns at Goldman Sachs or exploring recent threads on WSO for updates.

Gift bag: GS Mammoth, GS bottle, notebook. Definitely no banker vests and bags.

Dinner: US$30 after 8pm (can order after 5pm because you will definitely be in office after 8pm) on weekdays - applies for lunch and dinner on weekends for every four hours worked (max 2 meals) - no midnight meal when I was there.

Uber/taxi: after 9pm weekdays, to-and-from on weekends.

Note: meal stipiend and Ubers technically apply to Saturday, but you need to apply for a Saturday exception and I was not going to be asking a senior banker to initate that process, so I just paid out of pocket.

That's it - no gym memberships, etc.
