I applied online. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs (Singapur) in Jul 2024
Interview
1. Stage one was a coderpad interview with the engineers. It started with some random behavioural questions. Then followed by 2 leetcodes questions, first one is very very basic, just to get you to use to the platform. The second one is a medium leetcode, was not too difficult as well.
2. The second and third interview were scheduled on the same day. The first was also 2 leetcode questions with the team. I think they focused more on the communication at this point. I wasn't quite used to this style of interviewing, I don't think I have done a good job. 1 basic/medium (Linked List) and another medium (Graph).
3. Was genuinely confused by the third round. As I was told that this round was about software engineering. But, was asked to solve leetcode-like questions as well. In hindsight, I think the focus might not be giving the most optimum solution in leetcode sense, but coming up with the class/method/parameters ourselves to solve the given problem. Giving pseudocode was sufficient at this stage.
4. Was given a rejection the day after.
Had Coderpad interview (45 mins), Superday Interview (45mins ,45 mins) virtually. they were DSA , DSA+ System Design. currently waiting for the update. 2 interviewers, were there in each rounds. DSA problems were Optimal approach and find average score
First round was hackerrank assessment having 2 coding questions. Then after clearing that, the first round of interview had Leetcode Hard question, similar to get the maximum score. I was not able to do it. Interviewer was very nice though
