I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs (Boston, MA) in Jul 2018
Interview
I applied online and was contacted for an interview a few days later. The first interview was a phone interview where the interviewer barely spoke, so I was surprised to move onto the next round. The next round (another phone interview and a video call) went better, but I tripped myself up on the first question which cost me the interview.
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.
