I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs in Mar 2023
Interview
A call with recruiter and then with manager and the one problem solving round. In the problem solving interview asked medium level problem and was having difficulty in understanding basic solution. Wasted lot of my time in explaining him and since he himself wasnt well versed with problem solving it wasted lot of my time in explanation and left me with 15 mins only for the implementation and rather then he was diverting from the problem. Could have easily solved the problem without interviewer interference in 10 mins but he kept on asking stupid questions and for dry run multiple times. Worst interview experience, they should train their employees on problem solving then put them in interview panel.
