    Average Interview

    Application

    I applied through an employee referral. The process took a week. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs (Jersey City, NJ) in November 2018.

    Interview

    Was referred by a friend.

    Did two one hour coderpads in one day due to a rushed schedule. Nothing difficult just dictionary and list stuff as well as some debugging assignments. After that I had to do 5 rounds of interviews with different sets of people for a total of 5 hours. The interview process was stopped short of the 5th round. Questions were all over the place and didn't seem to focus on any one skill set.

    Received a response the next day with a generic rejection letter which wasn't even personalized.

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs (New York, NY) in September 2018.

      Interview

      Hackerrank challenge which was fine, and then 6 hours of technical interviews. Overall some of the interviews were very good, but two of the interviews were very snobby and kept cutting me off before I finished writing code or explaining things. One of these was the final interview with the manager, and overall made it an upsetting experience.

      Interview

      I had a lot of fun talking with my interviewers! They made me feel comfortable and asked good questions for which I could give insightful answers. The tech questions were simple and they were accommodating for when I did not know a particular language and used something else to make it work instead.

      Easy Interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6+ months. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs.

      Interview

      Applied online and received an invite for a coding test 1 month later. I promptly finished the test and after 1 more month, I received a HireVue invite, which I also promptly finished. After 1 more month they invited me to the super day last minute, just over 1 week before the day they picked. For weeks now, I had already planned a super day on the other side of the country with another company, so I had to request to change my Goldman super day date. The recruiter was very unresponsive did not respond until after the original super day date.

      I eventually got it rescheduled and the super day itself was fine. Two 1 hour behavioral/technical interviews back-to-back. After that they told me that the decision would take up to 3 weeks and could be expedited if I had another offer (I had several), which I told them about. After 2 weeks my recruiter said that they were still deciding. And at 3 weeks. And at 4 and 5 weeks. My recruiter would ignore me for weeks at a time. I gave up on them after that, but it wasn't 13 weeks after my super day that they finally rejected me.

      Over 3 months for a decision that should've been less than 3 weeks with multiple competing offers. Very despicable for such a reputable company.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4+ months. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs (Jersey City, NJ) in February 2018.

      Interview

      I applied for the role around late October 2017. Received a 60 minutes HackerRank immediately which had 4 days to complete. The coding test will have 2 easy questions. I received a reply from them later in early December to complete my next 20-30 minutes Hirevue Round. This again had 3-4 days to complete. This digital round involved 4-5 situation based behavioral questions. There will be pre-recorded questions. You will be given 1 minute to prepare your answer. After that, you will have time to record the answer.
      I then received the onsite superday invitation in early February 2018. The superday involved 2 back to back technical /behavioral rounds. Each interview was for an hour each and had 2 interviewers. The overall experience of onsite was good.
      The entire hiring process is very slow.
      Focus on Java and basic data structures.

The interviewers are the teams interested in you, so bring your most pleasant self to the interview. They are usually very helpful and prod you in the right direction if you get stuck at any point.
