Trivia

They are apparently very well known for their successes and their employees' high bonuses, referencing the lucrative bonuses usually given to bankers at the end of the financial year. This is supported by the fact when Playboy X tells Niko Bellic during Blow Your Cover "I pay like a Schlongberg Sachs bonus!".
The name of the company is another one of Rockstar's sexual puns, as "schlong" is a slang term for a large penis.
