I applied online. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs (Melbourne) in Nov 2018
Interview
I don't find the interview process pleasant.
1) I personally don't like people being late, especially when you will be hosting a meeting. For my case a participant to a remote interview.
From this I can imagine and guess how would be the working attitude of the environment.
2) I believe it is very rude where if you ask the interviewee to introduce him or herself, and interrupt during the introduction.
3) After presenting the question, the interviewer was like "I'll come back in 10 minutes"
As we are communicating remotely, I believe this is very impolite as well.
4) Remember that interview is a two flow process. Interviewee is also taking this opportunity to evaluate whether he / she want to work with these people.
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.
