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.
The interview process was somewhat stressful but manageable. I had to go through several rounds of interviews in one day, which added to the pressure. However, the interviewers were very professional, approachable, and made the experience more comfortable despite the fast pace.

Interview
The interview was good. She was very helpful in the technical round. I was stuck in the middle of the problem and she gave the hint how to solve it.
