Difficult Interview
Application
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs (Bengaluru) in June 2012.
Interview
Many rounds with different people at different levels. Lot of behavioral questions. Overall I would rate it as good though I still don't know whether I am in or out as I haven't got any response yet.
I was surprised that they did not ask any finance related questions and was mostly concentrating on your day to day work experience and how you handle things at work.
