I worked at Goldman briefly in the 90s, and I remember being pleasantly surprised at how little cynicism, and how much genuine enthusiasm for helping others I found there. It was a bank, sure, in the business of making money, but there was always this sense -- emanating from the top -- that money was not its sole purpose. I can see where this writer was coming from, and I agree with him that if this bank has lost its unique culture, then it has lost touch with what made it successful in the first place.
