I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs (New York, NY) in Nov 2009
Interview
Goldman Sachs came to my school looking for Software Engineers at a job fair. They took resumes then called back those who they wanted to interview. I got a call for an interview that same day and scheduled it for the next day. They gave me a skills test and asked some behavioral interview questions. I was told they would contact me in the next two weeks to know if I did or didnt make it to the next round of interviews (super day in NY). But I never got a call back until AFTER the deadline so maybe they forgot about me..i dont know?
A recruiter reached out to me. Technical screening was easy, then the super day loop included LC medium/hard questions. The last interview was my background check, project deep-dive, and theoretical conversation about applied solutions and their limitations/optimization.
