I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs in May 2021
Interview
Got a call from the recruiter after my resume shortlisting. I was asked to take a Hackerrank test of around 120 mins. The test had 2 coding questions of easy-medium level.
After clearing the test, I was invited for a coderpad round. 2 medium-hard level problems were asked.
Got a regret mail after a week.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Questions based on Data structures and algorithms.
I was invited for a virtual interview after solving some mathematics and coding questions. Maths questions were quite straightforward (I am coming from maths background) and coding questions were quite basic (I don't have so much coding background, only basic). Maths questions involved some basic stats questions and some mental maths (and calculus too I think? I don't remember it all, it was a while ago). Virtual interview didn't go great, I wasn't really prepared for it.

Question 1
Something about if I'm going to wait for offers from other places if I already have offer from a company that I'm not too interested in to join.
Goldman Sachs conducts five to six rounds to recruit a skilled candidate, which assesses the applicant’s technical, design, and communication skills.The coding knowledge of the candidate is assessed by online code writing and sharing the screen with the recruiter.
The coder-pad round lasts for one hour with one or two questions.
