I applied online. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs (Bengaluru) in May 2019
Interview
I took the interview in May 2019 (Bengaluru). The interview process starts with a hacker rank coding, where you will get two questions. You need to solve both the question in exactly 1hr 30min. (Both the questions are relatively easy to solve). You will be able to see your score for this round once you submit both the answers.
Second round, is a coder pad round. Here you will be monitored by GS employee. This round is scheduled for exactly 1 hr, and you need to solve two questions within this scheduled time. The first question needs to be solved in 20 min duration. Interviewer asks you to add more test cases for the given problem, once you solved the question. Second question will be medium level question. (Note: Questions are not so tough to solve, but 1 hr is definitely not enough for many candidates. It is very difficult to come up with the most optimized solution for two medium level questions within 1 hr, unless the given questions are familiar to you). Interviewers won't consider you to the next level even if your approach is correct and you are not able to correctly implement the solution within the given time.
Based on your performance, you will get call for the next level of interview.
