I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs (New York, NY) in Sep 2021
Interview
It was a toxic experience to be honest
.I was contacted by a recruiter/sourcer through Linkedin, after a discussion on phone about my backgroud, he sent me a Hackerrank test.
I completed the hackerrank test and then my phone screen was scheduled in 10 days time. I cleared the phone screen as well and after that, nothing from them for nearly 2 months.
I constantly followed up almost every 2-3 days, and all I got was "we will update you". Once, the hr person randomly scheduled the super day but never sent any invite or timings, and after constantly asking/pestering he told me to forget about that particular super day and told me to wait.
Then again after me constantly writing mails, he scheduled a superday and this time superday did happen. It was 3 interviews of 45 mins each, back to back.
I fared well and next day got a email saying the interview went positive and they wanted to schedule an informal call to know about my compensation expectations and logistics of my candidacy. This call got scheduled twice and both time 5 mins before the call, they cancelled it. Then one day, I get an email saying we are not moving forward with my candidacy.

Check the leetcode list, all coding questions were from there.
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.
