I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs (Bengaluru) in Apr 2021
Interview
1. Hackerrank Coding Test
2. Coderpad Coding Test.
3. Weekend drive with 4 back to back rounds
They will email you just before weekend drive in the night expecting you to become available for them whole Saturday and they will reject you without reason. And apart from this , their earlier rounds took weeks, one week they will send you HackerRank test , after 2 week they will send you coderpad invite and then after 2 week they will suddenly expect candidate to worship them. They have very pathetic recruitment culture.

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.
