I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs in Feb 2022
Interview
I have 6 rounds total, including 2 coding and 2 semi-behavioral and design rounds. After one of the algorithm interviews, an interviewer quickly buzzed me with a few behavioral questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Coding questions were medium-hard level problems on sliding windows, sorting, hash maps, breadth- and depth-first search. There wasn't a "classic" system design round with diagrams and stuff, the engineer rather asked me how I would handle high load under certain restrictions.
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.

Question 1
Screening: GS tagged questions on LC
Super Day: Longest Palindrome Substring, question similar to Number of Ways to Wear Different Hats to Each Other (not exactly this), question with hashmap+sliding window and question with heaps.
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
