I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs in Mar 2024
Interview
I was informed that the interview process would be 5 rounds.
The first round was just a casual chat with an Engineer, The topics to be discussed was mentioned a week ago. But the Interviewer had no idea about the topics which were to be discussed. She didn't have an idea about the company culture as she was working in another region.
Also, the interviewer did not have an idea about how the coderpad is going to be as this was a topic I wanted to know about.
2nd interview was a coderpad. I was not even asked to introduce myself. Interviewer seemed to be agitated.
