I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs (Bengaluru)
Interview
The interview was at our college during our placement season. Hailing from a non-CS branch, the interviewers went a bit easy on me. The interviewers were very warm in their approach and didn't make me feel uncomfortable. The overall interview process was very punctual and no-nonsense type. Though I didn't get an offer, the interview experience didn't leave a bad taste in my mouth.
I suggest reading through some common interview puzzles before going into the interview

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs (Londres, Inglaterra)
Interview
7 inderviews during a whole day. All interviewers were very nice and helpful, more conversations and less tests. Each person interviewed me according to their own specialization, and they gave me the impression that failing at their questions doesn't necessarily mean I failed the interview, which helped me a lot to remain motivated all along, even after failing at some answers.
