Interviewed Jan 2012 in Beijing, Beijing (China) (took 2 days)
2 phone interview for the first round;
3 1:1 interview on superday.
They held superday in both Beijing and New York. In New York, the candidates are mostly undergrads. In Beijing, candidates from local area are all graduate students, and international candidates are undergrads. Seemed like they hire 8/60 last year, and since this year's economics environment is so bad, I guess they recruit even fewer.
Superday interview is quite technical.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in New York, NY (took 1 week)
lasted 30 minutes, he first introduced himself, then I began with a 3min self-introduction. Then some questions on the resume, ask about past experience, ask about some definitions, one calculus question(take limits), two stochastic calculus questions(stopping time/martingale/ito fomula/ito isometry). Quite noisy background, seem to call from the trading desk directly.

Interviewed Mar 2010 (took 2 months)
Very straight forward. A few curved balls were thrown in the phone stage just to see if I was able to stay on my feet. General questions about the firm, its reputation and the markets were asked. The second interview at the final round was tough as it involved me questioning the department head. Good people.

Interviewed Jan 2011 (took 2 weeks)
This was a second and final round interview consisting of one 1:1 interview and two 2:1 interviews. The interviewers were nice and the questions pretty easy, mostly competency focused. I don't have a programming background so I didn't get many technical questions. But I've heard that people who boasted about their programming experience were drilled quite hard.

GS has a high speed and intense interview process, which matches about everything else they do there. They called me to invite me to a Superday with two days notice. They called me back within 48 hours to offer a position. Overall, people are enthusiastic about getting to know you and seeing if you are a good fit for the company.

Reason for Declining

Interviewed Mar 2010 in New York, NY (took 2+ weeks)
Goldman Sachs was at the career fair, I gave them my resume and then they called me to interview for a FT position in SLC. I declined because I am a FT student. They sent an email 2 hours later for an on-campus interview for a summer internship. That week I had a 1:1 interview with a recruiter from NY that lasted 30 minutes. It was behavioral. The next week they sent an email to go to SLC. They flew me there on a Monday, gave me a hotel and I had 9 1:1 interviews all day Tuesday. I came home Tuesday night and they called me with the offer for an internship in NYC Wed morning. (Computer Science)
