I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs
Interview
Was flown to NY, had a 3-4 hour interview with more than 5 people. Been in the industry a few years already, and the questions ranged from the pretty easy to the impossibly hard. As a general rule, if it's on your resume, they're expecting you to know the material cold. Bonus points for being able to explain the material coherently. If it's not on your resume, they didn't seem to get bothered when replying that you weren't sure.
While this was the most difficult interview I've ever had, it definitely wasn't easy. The interviewers all seemed to genuinely love working for Goldman, and honestly acknowledged the workload is not as easy as a 9-5, which was a big sell to me. Seemed that all the interviewers genuinely loved working with their coworkers, which is something I had never seen before.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs
Interview
Difficult as it was more on Concurrency and Multi Threading. Also not much scope to try out various appraoches in solving a problem and hence getting on the right thing was difficult
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs (Londres, Angleterre)
Interview
2 stages of interviews. Each stage consists of 3 sets of interviews. Mostly interviewing with the team you are applying for. It was fairly quick process. A week to get a call from HR, a week to set up the first stage of interview. They proceeded with the next stage and it was a week after. In a week, they told me their decision.
