I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs (New York, NY) in Mar 2018
Interview
Was contacted by an external sourcing company via email to interview for Goldman and another company in NY. Initial phone and video interviews were standard and I really enjoyed them, but the on-site was less than stellar, albeit I didn't get good sleep the night before (landed after 10pm and nerves kept me up until 4). The most memorable part of the interview was when an interviewer brought up the egg drop brain teaser. Was contemplating whether to walk out at that exact moment.
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.
