Which brand names earn the biggest 'oohs and aahs' among bankers, recruiters, and loved ones alike? Not surprisingly, Goldman Sachs earns the highest marks. Perception-wise, it is far-and-away the most respected financial institution by nearly a point. Overall, 8 of the Top 10 programs held their same position, with Perella Weinberg crashing the Top 10 and Bank of America slipping out into the 11th spot. In fact, just one firm in the Top 10 posted a lower score in the Top 10 than the year before.
