Goldman Sachs Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details A lot of brainteasers and typical quant interview questions. Friendly interviewer.

Interview Details 2 rounds of interviewed and didnt make it through to the next round. The questions were both technical and background oriented. Many questions about the market and specifically pension schemes in the UK. A lot of emphasis on team work and how I could demonstrate that from my previous experiences.

Interview Details I initially applied for the summer internship scheme online and was then required to complete two psychometric tests. Having passed these, I was invited for a 30 minute interview with two representatives from the division I had applied to. It was largely a competency based interview but with the occasional slightly more specific, finance related question thrown in.

Interview Details No big surprises here. Usual questions about OO, garbage collection, threads, events and etc. Phone interview was purely technical. So I would say it was not harder than any other banks I've tried.

Interview Details Applied through the university. Was interviewed in two rounds which consisted of a problem solving scenario with explanations, competency and technical interviews. I was interviewed by 7 different people from different departments in the technology division. While the process was nerve racking the interviewers however were very friendly

Interview Details Goldman is a consensus culture, especially in the hiring process. WHile you need a champion to guide you through the process, you will need to impress and get on with everyone you meet, which could range between 10-30 people, depending on the area you're interviewing for. Expect to get interviewed across all levels (more junior and more senior). The interviews will vary from the interviewer to interviewer, though some may get very technical. Cultural fit is also very key. Most important will be how success driven you are, without coming across too aggressive. Its a passive aggressive culture.

Negotiation Details – Title and base.

Interview Details I applied through an online application then I had an interview (two interviewers) at their London office. It was mainly competency questions and going through my CV. They also asked a bit about current affairs. All in all I enjoyed the experience. I think it's really important for you to show that you're genuinely excited about the opportunity to work there. Find something that shows you want to work for them and not any other IB.

Interview Details After applying online, I received a telephone call informing me that I had been selected for an interview. The interview involved a short discussion and some numerical/spatial reasoning tests (multiple choice). After completing this interview, I was called in for a second interview which involved discussing my experience, background and competencies with someone from a team, apparently selected by HR, with which I was going to work for the following two and a half months. The questions were simple and the interviewer very friendly. I had not prepared for this interview, but I managed to answer pretty much everything he asked me and we continued discussing several video game development related questions (he seemed to be keen on graphics software)

Interview Details The interviews were arranged at quite short notice.
The Senior Staff who interviewed me were extremely professional, polite, courteous and engaging. One member who was more junior felt it was an opportunity for him to tell me how important he was and to not expect to exceed his status in the role I was being interviewed for. Any time I began speaking he began checking his blackberry and answering emails and texts!
