This type of poll/comparison is really unhelpful and actually moot. Let me explain:

If you're looking for your first job, any of these places (and many more) are equally good for you. They are big organizations that invest in their people and more or less competent at what they do. You should be choosing a potential employer based on how you see yourself fit and developing in that organization, how you like the people and your general sense of "belonging" which you'll develop the more you meet with actual humans from each bank. Yes, this is by no means a fool-proof system but it is far superior to any of the alternatives. Yes, GS is the best and everybody wants "the best" blah blah blah, but it may not be the "best" for YOU at the start of your career. There are many ways to the top of the mountain. I know that because, I've done it and so can anybody else.

If you're looking for your first job focus on getting a job and not on league tables and who has the biggest balance sheet or whatever. Life works in mysterious ways. Good luck.
