I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs (New York, NY) in Nov 2023
Interview
Two 45-min round back-to-back interview. They will ask you some questions from their behavior question list, and then ask you some technical questions (coding, math puzzle, probability, etc). The experience is not nice. They apparently don't understand very well the questions they are asking: I did one coding problem correctly and perfectly but the interviewer kept asking me to improve it; the interviewers also don't communicate with me as well, they look like doing other stuffs.
