Their background
I interviewed with Goldman Sachs for the role of Associate Software Developer

The process began with DSA question. In Round 1, I was given two coding problems to solve. The first was Sort Characters by Frequency, which involved rearranging characters in a string based on their frequency of occurrence. The second was Pour Water, a simulation-based problem that required careful handling of edge cases and an understanding of how water flows across terrain. Both questions were of medium to hard difficulty and tested problem-solving skills as well as the ability to write clean, efficient code under time constraints. Unfortunately, after this round, I did not hear back from the company and was eventually ghosted, with no further communication regarding the outcome of the process.
