I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs (Jersey City, NJ) in Apr 2011
Interview
The interview process is long and arduous and you will generally meet with a dozen or more interviewers, mostly in-person, though there may be some phone interviews with individuals who are located in remote offices. Goldman Sachs strives to hire talented individuals who can fit into the culture, which includes community give-back and cultivating leaders.
