This question speaks directly to how well you have researched Goldman Sachs before your interview. Look at the company website, their news section, and Google to see if they are trending on any topics. You do not need to go into a significant amount of detail on what you find. Give enough to show the interviewer that you are paying attention to their organization's accomplishments.

"I read the other day that Goldman Sachs beat expected revenues for Q2 this year, which is amazing news. Your shares closed 1.9% higher, bringing your year-to-date gains to 29%. It's great to see that Goldman Sachs is blowing away the expectations of analysts worldwide."

"I see that Goldman Sachs has made significant strides in the past 12 months in efforts to close the gender investing gap. I appreciate that Goldman Sachs has identified that women-owned businesses often do not get the investments they deserve. I was thrilled to read about your new initiative to invest millions into private, late-stage, women-founded, women-owned, or women-led companies."

In an interview, you'll want to keep things positive. If you have trouble finding any news or developments that are free of controversy, default to their most recent positive news, which you'll easily find advertised on their website through their press releases, media pages, or blog. Goldman Sachs even has an entire webpage on their recent Awards and Rankings, for example, where they advertise having received multiple Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Awards.
