I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs in Sept 2024
Interview
Awful experience, wasting time: I went through 4 stages of interviews, none of which were particularly difficult. The interviewers were polite and smart, though some of the questions were a bit strange. However, it's been more than a month since my last interview, and no one has contacted me with the result or responded to my follow-up emails. The lack of communication has been very frustrating, and it feels like a waste of time.
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.
