I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs in Aug 2021
Interview
Though the process was stretched out, the communication was proper through mail. Keep checking your mails. First round on hackerrank was moderate in terms of difficulty. You can clear it with preparation. Second round was on Leetcode. It was comparatively difficult, had to solve using lesser complexity.

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.
