I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs (Bengaluru) in Jun 2015

Goldman Came on campus for interviews and I had 4 rounds.
First a hackerrank ad 3 in-person interviews.
Hackerrank round had just one coding question and we were given an hour to solve it.

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.
