I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs (New York, NY) in Aug 2017
Interview
A local recruiter scheduled me for a phone interview with a coding session on CoderPad. The phone interviewer was nice and he he asked me about my background. Unfortunately, the coding question he asked me seemed more suited for a fresh college graduate than for someone experienced like me. I immediately recognized that I could not do this problem on the interview, and so I declined politely. This brought us to the end of the interview.

I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs (Bengaluru)
Interview
The interview was at our college during our placement season. Hailing from a non-CS branch, the interviewers went a bit easy on me. The interviewers were very warm in their approach and didn't make me feel uncomfortable. The overall interview process was very punctual and no-nonsense type. Though I didn't get an offer, the interview experience didn't leave a bad taste in my mouth.
