Goldman Sachs Technical Architect Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – Interviewed process: phone/written test/1:1 by few people. Written test is suitable for just out of school guys. They never asked what I did and how I did it. Focus on some obscure interface/core java concept. Knowledge of the people is not that great with few exceptions. Few people seems to have got in through connections. Those people seem to get intimidated when they see highly qualified/talented people and give wrong feedback. Generally, GS seems to have entangled in some custom frameworks that were built when Java first came in. Majority of the folks who worked there for long time don't seem to understand the recent advances. Most of them seem to have got entangled in fixing those custom frameworks which were written in core java/ some threads programming. So prepare yourself with some core java/ java.util.concurrent interface. And be prepared to answer their frustrations in terms of their questions. Good luck. Other general questions include why GS, recent controversies with GS etc. If you get interviewed by multiple people insist on taking breaks between the interviews.
