&lt;p&gt;It&#39;s been 12 years since the elite, secretive, undisputed powerhouse on Wall Street called Goldman Sachs &amp;amp; Co. went public, and today, while the bank might be older, slower, more than slightly beaten down, and much more similar to its public competitors than it was a decade ago, one thing remains the same: it&#39;s still the unidisputed investment banking champion of the world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;margin: 4px 10px; float: left;&quot; title=&quot;lloyd blankfein angel&quot; src=&quot;http://images.businessweek.com/ss/09/12/1217_unbelievable_quotes_acts_ideas/image/001_goldman_sachs.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;lloyd blankfein angel&quot; width=&quot;350&quot; height=&quot;204&quot;&gt;The reason for this is quite simple: &lt;em&gt;the partnership&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That is, reaching the holy Goldman Sachs partnership grail -- even after all of the Matt Taibbi-scribed &lt;em&gt;Rolling Stone&lt;/em&gt; articles, pompous mentions of &lt;em&gt;doing God&#39;s work&lt;/em&gt;, unethical if not illegal Abacus-like deals, SEC settlements, Facebook fiascos, etc. -- is still the dream of many a young, hungry and budding investment banker.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In fact, the firm formerly known as a private company has ranked as the most prestigious investment bank to work for in every one of Vault&#39;s banking surveys (including our North American, European, and Asian surveys) since we started ranking banks more than 10 years ago.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(DealBook: A Once Tight Flock at Goldman, Now Scattered)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Related: Has Goldman CEO Lloyd Blankfein Become a Liability?, Rolling Stone Writer Scribes Another Scathing Piece on Goldman &quot;Squid&quot; Sachs)&lt;/p&gt;
