Interviewed Oct 2011 in Salt Lake City, UT (took a day)
I got the interview by attending Goldman Sachs Salt Lake City Symposium. I received information about the symposium from my school career service and applied it on Goldman Sachs career page. About 10 people interviewed for my position. The interview lasted for 30 minutes. Half behavior and half technical questions.

Interviewed Oct 2010 in Bangalore (India) (took 2 months)
They conducted more than 15+ rounds of interview over a long period of 2 months. After initial few weeks, I stopped asking when would the interview process end. Most of the questions in different interview rounds were repetitive. Every interviewer stated a few great things about the company & gave opportunity to ask questions. Used all means of interviewing including telephone calls, video conferencing, tele-presence, telephonic panel interview, in-person interviews.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took 2 days)
First round is 1:1 interview with someone from department, going through competency based questions and some general logical thinking tests.
Second round involved 3 interviews in a row with department representatives of different levels. A little more specific to the job, testing your general skills for performing the work. Questions on current affairs, sometimes on selected markets that you raise in the dialogue. Also, interested in something beyond finance.
Pretty informal, but make sure that once you raise some topic, you are able to answer additional questions around it.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Dallas, TX (took a day)
There were 3 interviewers. All three of them were engineers in Goldman. The first one was behavioral. The next one was technical. I finally met the vice-president technology. He seemed to be impressed with my research work. He offered me to fly to New York. However, I was also called for interviews with a couple of different technology companies. Before I scheduled my Interviews at Goldman, I was offered a position in one of the big tech companies and I chose to join them. I declined further interviewing with Goldman.

Reason for Declining

Interviewed Dec 2011 in New York, NY (took 6+ weeks)
I haven't yet completed the interview process--I began with a 20-minute phone interview, and will soon take part in a 3-hour interview in-office with the other applicants for the same job. I'm not sure how the 3-hours of interviews will be structured, but I heard from a current analyst that VPs from the division will interview each applicant as a group for one part of the interview. During the phone interview, I didn't have to answer any questions about the job I was applying for, or the company, and my interviewer was very easy to talk to.

Interviewed Dec 2011 (took a day)
Upon submission of the online application, I was contacted by email within a few days to schedule for an interview. Arrangement for phone interview was made because I was going to be out of town on the scheduled days of interview. If possible, candidates should always opt for physical interview because it is hard to tell what is going on at the other end of the line. Interview consisted of questions from the resume, why Goldman Sachs, what you understand about Ops, and so on. The interviewers sounded like they were rushing for time and it made the interview uncomfortable.
