Their background

Final year student Recently, I had the opportunity to interview with Goldman Sachs as part of their campus recruitment process.

Round by round

  1. 1

    OA (Elimination)60 min

    The first round was a one-hour online test that included:

    • Multiple-choice questions
    • 2 coding questions
    • 1 situation-based question Topics was DSA (arrays, strings, graphs), OOPs (inheritance, polymorphism, abstract classes)
  2. 2

    Technical Coding Round 160 min

    Two coding problems, 60 minutes, explain approach, write pseudocode, dry-run with test cases. Problems, one was Check if Grid Satisfies Conditions, and the other was Minimize Maximum Value in a Grid.The interviewer was engaged, asked about my thought process, and probed for optimization The interviewer was engaged, asked about my thought process, and probed for optimization

  3. 3

    Technical Coding Round 360 min

    This round threw me for a loop. Everyone else I talked to got DSA style questions. But mine? A complete curveball, the interviewer dove straight into my resume and started grilling me on everything from standard libraries to networking, Docker, CI/CD, and even system design. It felt more like I was interviewing for a backend engineer role than an intern. I was definitely not expecting that kind of deep dive, and it left me a bit rattled. Looking back, yeah, it did feel kinda unfair compared to the others. But hey, it’s their process.
