    Posted by Glassdoor Team July 30th, 2010

    In an industry closely affected by the markets ups and downs, it looks like good news may be on

    the horizon as many financial service companies have the green light to start adding to their

    employee rosters. According to 109 investment banking, private equity, venture capital, assetmanagement and other financial firms that took part in the 2010 Summer Finance Employee

    Outlook Survey conducted by the AnEx Advantage Training and Associate Program, 74%

    asserted that hiring in the finance sector would improve within the next 12 months.

    In the latest Glassdoor industry report card*, our data analysts dug into employee sentiment at

    more than 100 companies in the financial services industry, including top name accounting firms,

    asset management companies, banks, brokerages, credit card companies, mutual fund

    managers, as well as transaction, credit and collections companies. To be included in the

    evaluation, companies had to have at least 20 reviews submitted by employees on

    Glassdoor.com.

    The Highlights:

    The highest rated financial sector companies (on a 5-point scale) include: Susquehanna

    International Group LLP (4.0), Goldman Sachs (3.8), Scottrade (3.7), Brown Brothers Harriman

    (3.6), Capital Group (3.6) and RBC Financial Group (3.6).

    The highest rated CEOs within the financial services industry include Goldman Sachs Lloyd C.

    Blankfein (97%), Susquehanna International Groups Jeff Yass (96%), BB&Ts Kelly S. King

    (96%), RBC Financial Groups Gordon M. Nixon (96%) and T. Rowe Prices James A. C. Kennedy

    (95%). (Based on CEOs who have received 20 approval ratings or more).

    Below breaks down companies within the industry by going a bit deeper than overall rating. As

    part of the Glassdoor survey, employees are asked to rate eight workplace and cultural

    attributes, making it easy to compare differences among companies.

    Large Investment Banks: Following Goldman Sachs in terms of overall company rating is

    Morgan Stanley (3.3), followed by both Merrill Lynch and JP Morgan Chase (3.2), and CitiGroup

    closes out this group with a 2.5. When we look at workplace factors for these large investment

    banks, Goldman Sachs has the lead in seven of the eight categories its Bank of Americas

    Merrill Lynch that receives the highest work/life balance rating (3.6) compared to competitors.
