Interview
I applied through a recruiter, and arranged an initial phone interview with an Associate the next week. The phone call was 30 minutes, of which 20 minutes were spent toward discussing my qualifications (all behavioral questions) and 10 minutes of discussing the role and the team in greater detail. I was invited to "super day" the next week, where I met with 4 Vice Presidents, 30 minutes each, back-to-back. They asked the following questions:
Do you think your GPA is strong enough?
Why Goldman Sachs?
Why do you want to work for this team specifically?
Tell me about a time when you had to change your approach to solve a problem in the workplace.
What are your strengths?
How would your co-workers describe you?
What do you enjoy the most about your current job?
Why should we choose you?
+ A few questions specific to my resume.
No brainteasers, all behavioral questions. They do expect very precise and detailed answers. I received an offer 2 days later and accepted immediately.

To the point people, warm attitude yet quick to the Q&A. Share background, why ops, why location? Speak well and be confident. Be prepared for a random phone call, if you miss the call prepare a good voicemail for when you call back.

My Superday consisted of three back‑to‑back 20‑minute Zoom interviews. Each interviewer was warm, direct, and focused on understanding how I think, communicate, and approach operational problems. The process was well‑organized, with clear instructions and smooth transitions between meetings. Questions centered on teamwork, ownership, process improvement, and how my past experiences prepared me for Operations. Overall, it felt structured, conversational, and professionally run.
