The interview process
Described in candidates’ own words.
“It was a live coding interview with tech experts that basically tests you on problem-solving skills. There are two parts of the interview process: one is basically testing you on your debugging skills and the next is a LeetCode hard question, which basically tests you on your data structures and algorithms skills.”Candidate-reported process
“I applied to Goldman Sachs via an agency for a role in New York on a specific team. First, there was a round with the agency about Java, Spring Boot, and microservices. Then, a Coderpad interview with Goldman Sachs where I got the Trapping Rain Water problem. The last round was a technical chat with three VPs. They asked me to find the count of subarrays that sum to K. My first idea was a recursive method for non-contiguous subarrays, but they suggested sorting and picking elements instead.”Candidate-reported process
“There were multiple rounds. DS was the toughest. First, there was a HackerRank round. They had repeated questions, so one could easily solve it. Then there were 4 more technical rounds on CoderPad.”Candidate-reported processMore reports lockedRead 300+ more interview experiences
