Goldman Sachs Software Developer interview questions

There was an initial IQ and basic algorithms test. this part was outsourced to another company who administerred this test. It was a very general test and was not particularly tuned for that particular company. CVs were also asked for but that was just for the GPA. There was a group interview after this intiial selection stage and it was filter based. Group interview went very well and it almost got me the job. After that there were two technical interviews all of which were on a 1:1 basis. Some basic C++ and some algo type of questions were asked. There was an HR round. By this time they had already decided to take me , so it was smooth sailing.

Phone screen was easy, some basic java questions followed by relatively easy SQL question. The last question was the kind of ridiculous "gotcha" type of question which some interviewers like to ask , akin to the problem they had at one point and it took them a week to figure it out, but they feel compelled to ask you the same question at the phone screen. Got invited to the face to face interview. One of the interviewers was a slimeball I did not answer one question correctly (easy one) , simply because I dont remember all detail of API , the guy kept smiling without correcting me , basically behaving as if I answered it great. Other interviewers were very sceptical about my resume , it felt like I was fake in their eyes, not sure why. My overall impression is that this company does not have morals. By talking to a girl , I realized that there is a real fear of layoffs present in the building, despite current hiring. I wish good luck to a guy who will get this job, instead of me, as I dont think I could work there, even if I got an offer.
