I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs (New York, NY) in Nov 2013
Interview
I applied online through campus recruitment. I was called for an interview on 18th of this month. They basically ask about you, so what ever you are be confident and explain them. I am not from finance background (from Computer engg.) so they asked question about how would you fit in etc. Be very sure about your resume, this is the your only paper document which they have it, hence ask many things from it. From my end it was good, but didnt get a reply from them.

1. House Robber problem
2. Dp on stock & follow ups
Preference of software/quant was asked in the test. In the test there is a behavioural section, if you answer that properly you will get an interview.
There was a panel of 3-4 members in the software team, usually you got your interview in 2 panels (for two rounds of the same difficulty)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They ask basic arrays, and linked list questions in DSA. Other than that they discussed my projects, there was not really much else in the interview for both the rounds. If you have a good introduction about yourself prepared, are knowledgeable about your projects and know basic DSA, you can get hired.
Great interview process, super nice people. Come prepped with typical IB questions and answers. Get to the super is easy, super day is tuff. So be easy on yourself is my bigggest takeaway XD
