I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs (New York, NY)
Interview
Initially telephone screening has been done. It went around 50 mins. They covered Java basics and SQL basics followed by reason for looking change. Later after a week received a call for face to face interview.
Recruiter told it will be another one or two rounds of technical interviews followed by HR interview. But after reaching there I understood that there will one hour skills test, which test your problem solving skills , Java skills and SQL skills followed by assessment and discussion on your solutions that you provided. I haven't expected that. But I did good in that written test. After discussion went on the solutions that I wrote by two different interviewers separately. Later I have been asked to wait for some time. After 5 mins I got the update that I can leave for the day.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs (Bengaluru) in Aug 2013
Interview
They conducted a hiring event in a hotel and called . Some written test was there having few apti questions and C++/SQL questions. The shortlisted had 3 rounds of interview that day. All very basic, like fibonacci, reverse a list, etc.. And you know what, we three people were remaining in the end and they conducted dozens of phone interviews later.. That really irritates, and you have to take time out of your office to attend. They're very bad in caring people's time , many a times they just schedule and forget.. Finally in one phone interview I got irritated and told am not more interested in this opportunity.
