Interviewed Apr 2008 in Salt Lake City, UT (took a day)
I already worked for the company and was interviewing for an internal role. It was a very easy process because I had already built up a reputation in the firm. The manager asked good questions about relatable skills and asked for examples. It wasn't one of those interviews where they ask ridiculous questions like how many gas stations are in the US. It was straightforward. There were three parts, introduction or interviewer and self intro (3 min each). About 20 minutes of questions from the interviewer followed. Then there was about 5 minutes for my questions about the role and firm.

Interviewed May 2012 in Salt Lake City, UT (took a day)
I was invited to the Salt Lake City office after submitting an application through my school career center. Before I left they gave me a quick phone interview that consisted of "why Goldman Sachs" and "are you interviewing with anyone else/ do you have any other offers" The interview was 2 30 minute 2:1 interviews that consisted of mostly company fit questions. They will also ask you what you know about Goldman and why do you want to work for them. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER IS THAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR TEAM PLAYERS WHO ARE EAGER TO LEARN. THAT IS THE HIGHLIGHTED SKILL THAT THE ARE DIGGING FOR. Just had my interview today so I should here from them in a week about the next move if any.

Interviewed Apr 2012 in Salt Lake City, UT (took 3 weeks)
I applied for the position pretty late, for they had already chosen most of their candidates. I was also referred by one of the employees. But luckily, I got to opportunity to have a phone interview for screening I suppose. After that round, I was flown into slc for the next rounds. I was told that it would be a 1:1 interview for 30mins each. But when i got there, I actually had four interviewers...two for each 30mins session. My interview was at 1pm, and my interviewers were pretty cool, and they seemed to really love the culture of the company.
Most of the questions were behavioral.. and they really wanted to know why you chose GS, and why I chose that particular division.

Interviewed Mar 2012 in Salt Lake City, UT (took 5 months)
I applied for an operations analyst position in November and receive a call from an HR Recruiter about a week later and did a phone interview. I was informed that there may not be a current opening, but that they would keep me on file. I was contacted again in February 2012 and did another phone with the same individual. Both phone interviews were fairly easy, questions like, "Why GS?" and "Tell me about your current role at X company."
About a week later I was invited for a set of 1st round interviews in the Salt Lake Office. I participated in four interviews, each 30 minutes. Two of them were 2:1 and the other two were 1:1. Mostly behavioral, work history, and process improvement questions. I was then invited back the following week for another round of interviews. Again is was four 30 minute interviews, but this time all the interviews were 2:1. Similar questions as the previous round were asked, although I was asked a few unexpected ethical questions.
After the second round of interviews I was called back for one more series of interviews with three senior VPs. These were actually the most pleasant interviews of all the ones that I had participated in. Again similar questions to the previous interviews. I received a call back about three days later to schedule an HR interview where salary expectations, benefits, etc. were discussed. I received a call about one week later from the same HR person who interviewed me with an offer.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
I laid out my expectations of pay in my HR interview. I did not negotiate after the initial offer was made. The offer was higher than my expectations.
Other Details
I Applied Online and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Group/Panel Interview, a Drug Test and a Background Check.

Very general behavioral questions but they do want you to know what you want in your careers. There is no right or wrong answers, it is more about the fit to the company.

Interviewed Mar 2011 in Salt Lake City, UT (took a day)
I had a 2 on 1 interview after a Career Fair on campus. They called me about a week later to fly me out to Salt Lake. I had three interviews each with three different divisions. Each one had a behavioral, a skills test, and then a technical. The technical interviews were pretty difficult. I stumbled on some of the questions.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Salt Lake City, UT (took 2 days)
I was selected to go to SLC for a leadership symposium, and then interviewed for positions in finance and operations. My interview for finance was in the credit division and I interviewed with two people. Questions there ranged from behavioral to technical questions such as if you were allowed to have either a BS, IS or CFS which one would you chose. I got put on hold and eventually didn't get an offer. Then, for my ops interviews, I had two interviews with two people each. They were mainly all behavioral. I got asked back for a second round in SLC and had two very similar interviews again. I ended up not getting an offer as well. Oh well, GS is conceded.
