I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs (Bengaluru) in Jun 2021
Interview
It was a coderpad test. They asked me 3 questions, 1 on stacks, one on Greedy (which was a bit weird to be honest) and one on dynamic programming. The first question was pretty straightforward, but I got stuck on the greedy one for a while. I couldn't solve it in the end and then later, I did not have enough time for the dp one.

Question 1
I can't disclose the actual question, but it was a popular question on Leet Code on Stacks.
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.

Had Coderpad interview (45 mins), Superday Interview (45mins ,45 mins) virtually. they were DSA , DSA+ System Design. currently waiting for the update. 2 interviewers, were there in each rounds. DSA problems were Optimal approach and find average score
First round was hackerrank assessment having 2 coding questions. Then after clearing that, the first round of interview had Leetcode Hard question, similar to get the maximum score. I was not able to do it. Interviewer was very nice though
