I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs (London, England) in Mar 2022
Interview
- Algorithms Test x2 (I definitely had 2 though they may have had different names) just blitz some leetcode as practice and you'll be fine - Datastructures - Know how array lists, red black trees, hashtables, link lists work. All pretty standard - Systems design - This was done verbally which was a bit odd exposed that their infrastructure is stuck in the dark ages - Cultural interview - I got hard sold the job
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked about datastructures such as array lists, linked lists, hashtable, concurrent hashtable and red black tree. With knowledge of these you should be fine for the algorithms questions too. Leetcode shows what GS most asked questions are. I got a easy/medium then a hard.
Had Coderpad interview (45 mins), Superday Interview (45mins ,45 mins) virtually. they were DSA , DSA+ System Design. currently waiting for the update. 2 interviewers, were there in each rounds. DSA problems were Optimal approach and find average score
First round was hackerrank assessment having 2 coding questions. Then after clearing that, the first round of interview had Leetcode Hard question, similar to get the maximum score. I was not able to do it. Interviewer was very nice though
