In 2017, Allison Berger was excited to join Goldman Sachs’ 10-week summer internship program. Berger said she “worked on many important and complex problems” that summer, which helped her secure a full-time analyst position with Goldman’s investment banking division. Nearly a decade later, Berger is a Goldman vice president for global banking and markets.

“I’ve had amazing opportunities here. So many mentors here are women. My male colleagues have also always been incredibly supportive,” said Berger, adding that the skill set she gained early in her career gave her flexibility to thrive in different parts of the bank.
