Self recording interview for a couple questions was pretty intense. Felt as though they was unreasonable. Was mostly technical and not really behavioral baded whicj was annoying. Did not expect

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Singapore
I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs (Singapore) in Dec 2018
Superday - 3 back to back interviews of 30 min each Interviewers appeared uninterested from the beginning, one of them even yawned while the other breathed heavily. The third round interview with an MD was rather unpleasant when he seemed distracted by phone calls and text messages. Asked the usual typical questions and seemed disinterested throughout interview. Interviews were shorter than normal, at 20 minutes each. Seemed like they were interviewing for the sake of hitting the target number when they already firmed their offers. Very unexpected coming from GS.
- Tell me about a time when you had to persuade your team?
- How would your previous supervisor describe you?
