I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs (Zürich) in Mar 2025
Interview
During the HireVue they asked a question that may catch you off-guard: "Based on the current FICC and Equities situation, give a recommendation" (something along those lines). The other questions were regarding why you want to work for the positions you applied to and competency based questions (e.g. what would you do if someone was asking for confidential information, cheating on a test, describe a time when you were NOT in a leadership position, how would you lead a team with tight deadlines, etc.). There was 8 questions, be ready to answer about all the position divisions you applied to!

Initial resume drop, then a call with a recruiter, then one-way interview (mine was HireVue), finally ended with a SuperDay (ie three back to back interviews ranging 30-45 mins each I think. Questions were primarily behavioral and the interviewers wanted to hear the questions candidates prepared for them.

Question 1
They ask basic arrays, and linked list questions in DSA. Other than that they discussed my projects, there was not really much else in the interview for both the rounds. If you have a good introduction about yourself prepared, are knowledgeable about your projects and know basic DSA, you can get hired.
