I applied online. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs
Interview process was very clean and efficient. Focused mainly on the problem solving technique and core concepts and high level designing questions. Interview panel will help us with the solution approaches and for difficult level problem they will give small hint for optimized solution only if we solved the problem in brute force.
- Problem solving questions like stack impl. Design level questions

Anonymous Interview Candidate

I was sent an email after I sent my resume from the career website for Goldman Sachs. I received a coding assessment using Hacker Rank. I didn't pass the interview.

2 rounds. Coding and then technical interview. Asked about merge sort and 2d arrays and basics of stacks. Very few selected for next round. Had some paragraph writing questions as well in the first round.
- 1. merge sort 2. 2d arrays

Anonymous Interview Candidate

Really good, fully remote. There was a need to do an exam to test your math and programing skills, overall the test was medium difficulty. Can recommend, but some preparation before test may be needed
- I didn't managed to get that far :d

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs in Mar 2022
Received a coding challenge and got 100% on it. I had plenty of time to finish it. In the middle of it, I literally got up, went to my dining table, and ate a burrito for dinner. Then came back and finished the coding challenge. Then I never heard back from them. I'm not sure what happened. Maybe the long pause triggered something. Learn from my mistakes people, don't leave the coding challenge for any reason. It's remote-friendly but not flexible.
- Robot moving up, down, left, right, and if it returns back to its original position.

Anonymous Interview Candidate

Got a first round. It was a coding round. Not Difficult but and it can be cracked with regular practice. Did not receive any update further after the first round.
- HackerRank : Invert a Binary Tree

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Dallas, TX
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs (Dallas, TX)
I have interviewed with the Dallas office. The online round was followed by a CoderPad interview. Finally, I had 3 back to back technical interviews during the super day. The recruiter mailed me a few days following the super day informing me the outcome was positive but one more technical interview was to be conducted. One was scheduled and 2 hours prior to it I was informed it was to be rescheduled. The next day followed with a generic rejection mail with no explanation. Extremely nonprofessional recruiters.
