Average interview
Application
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs (Bengaluru) in Nov 2021
Interview
It was a completely remote interview where candidates were divided in cohorts on Zoom. They were called into breakrooms for actual interview with the interviewer. I had 3 rounds total and all of them were conducted on the same day.
The only con of the process was that you had to sit in front of the screen at all times as you could be called at any time.

Question 1
1. House Robber problem
2. Dp on stock & follow ups
Preference of software/quant was asked in the test. In the test there is a behavioural section, if you answer that properly you will get an interview.
There was a panel of 3-4 members in the software team, usually you got your interview in 2 panels (for two rounds of the same difficulty)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They ask basic arrays, and linked list questions in DSA. Other than that they discussed my projects, there was not really much else in the interview for both the rounds. If you have a good introduction about yourself prepared, are knowledgeable about your projects and know basic DSA, you can get hired.
Great interview process, super nice people. Come prepped with typical IB questions and answers. Get to the super is easy, super day is tuff. So be easy on yourself is my bigggest takeaway XD
