I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs in Aug 2017
Interview
I got this mail from my friend which says about the requirement in Goldman Sachs. So, I applied and got a link to a hackerrank test which contains two simple questions which I did in 20 minutes I guess. After 4-5 days I received a mail saying you are selected for further interview process and you need to go for a technical interview on coderpad the next day. So, I got prepared for that. The very next day I received a call which said to get ready for interview in next ten minutes. So, I logged in to coderpad and waited for interview to start but guess what no one showed up till next two hours. I wasted my time waiting for interview to start. When I mailed Goldman Sachs about it then they didn't bother to reply to that.
This behaviour is not expected from a company like this. Hope HR from Goldman read this and reply here if they can.

Question 1
a question on dynamic programming and other on hashmap.
The process went fast without dragging.
It involves 4 rounds of interviews, which include:
2 rounds of coderpad related to DSA,
1 round SDLC,
and 1 round from the hiring manager.
A recruiter reached out to me. Technical screening was easy, then the super day loop included LC medium/hard questions. The last interview was my background check, project deep-dive, and theoretical conversation about applied solutions and their limitations/optimization.
