I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs (Bengaluru) in Aug 2014
Interview
I attended 9 round of interview.
1st round : written technical MCQ questions,
2nd to 8th : All technical except for 2 Managerial rounds
9th round : A telephonic round. Call came from Hong Kong.
Very very very lengthy process. Completing the full process will take more than 60 days.
Suggession : If you have offer letter tell them before hand, once they roll off your offer letter you cannot bargain with them. The HRs will talk to very nicely, but the moment u tell them u cannot join GS you can see the change in their behaviour.

I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs (New York, NY)
Interview
They fly you to New York for an all day interview. You are interviewed with 2 or 3 teams depending on your resume. They have two offices across the bay from each other and you have to ride the provided yacht if you have interview on the other building, it was an unique experience. The interview questions are easy if you know your data structures, sorting algorithm well. There are no hard algorithm questions like graph search for the specific panel I was interviewed. They also ask you the difference between abstract class vs interface, and inheritance what not.
