Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: There were two papers.One objective paper containing 2 sections :Quantitative: 25 questions on basic mathematical abilities requiring both speed and accuracy were asked.Technical: 10 questions based on basic Data structures and Algorithms.One subjective paper containing 2 sections:Technical: 2 codes to be written in java/c/c++Essay: Topic given was 'Why should GS hire me?'
Duration: 90 minutes
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: 26 candidates were shortlisted who were divided into two groups of 13 each and were given the same topic for case study. Case study was based on response to stressful situations and decision making abilities where we had to present our point of views and reach a general consensus at the end.
Duration: 30 minutes
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: I had 4 rounds of interviews. 3 of them were mainly technical. I was asked to explain about my project work and a few puzzles of varying difficulty levels were asked. Subjective questions were mainly from DS. Questions were asked from trees, linked lists, stacks and queues, sorting and graphs. One software design question was asked in one of the rounds. One or two questions were asked from OS mainly concentrated on processes.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: There was one round of HR though the other rounds also had few questions. Panel members were easily approachable and it was just like an informal discussion covering questions on future goals, schooling, hobbies, passion, interests, why I chose to take up my branch, what I expect from GS, what I can offer to the company, general take on recession and many others.Panel members were genial and interviews were challenging and at the same time interesting. I totally enjoyed the HR round and discussed practically every topic under the sun with them.
General Tips: It is a good chance for everyone who has a good knowledge of basic programming and DS. The key is to be well prepared and be confident. Just give your interviews with a cool head and this one is definitely not difficult to crack. I am sure you will enjoy the experience. Good luck to all the aspirants.

4 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: There was a written aptitude test followed by a group discussion and then personal interview.In the written test there were quant questions(easy-medium level) and technical questions mainly from data structures and C/C++ (multiple choice questions). For each section there was a definite period of time alloted.There was also a section where 2 programs were asked-one was to find the angle between hour hand and minute hand , another was on anagrams . Finally an essay type question-"Why do you want to work for Goldman Sachsand why it should hire you"
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: An abstract of 4-5 pages about the people on a ship which is going to sink. Around 4-5 peoples' personalities were analysed thoroughly. We had to choose a captain and vice captain for the ship at such a critical juncture.
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: They first asked, 'What is your favorite subject?' I said DS..Then he asked why? Then some questions based on what I answered were asked.He also asked about use of trees in real life scenario..I spoke about data models -hierarchical data model follows tree structure. It was a pretty cool round..I wasn't made to write any code.
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: He asked me about Polymorphism, Function Overloading Virtual Functions etc. Then I was asked to write a code for a "movie " class . And types of movies are- new , ol, medium levels and then some functions I don't exactly remember. Basically he was checking C++ class concepts.
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: In the Third Interview,He asked me about the two programs which were asked in the written round.
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: In the final interview, he asked me about my curriculum , one question on abstract classes and then what do I want in a job, my preferences, etc
General Tips: Placements are a difficult period and one tends to get tensed up. So start revising C/C++ concepts and data structures in the summer vacation itself. Technical C/C++ questions you can practice from Test your C skills byKanetkar. And stay cool . Be confident. ALL THE BEST :)

5 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: The aptitude test consisted of mostly quant and reasoning questions and a couple of programming questions. There was a a writing question after this on: "Why do I want to work for GS"? One must be prepared with an answer for this question in some form or the other because this came up in an interview later as well.
The level of the apti was pretty easy, but a decent solving speed is recommended.
Tips: A basic knowledge of C was enough to tackle the programming questions. Try to keep the codes shorter and more efficient, that works in your favour. Don't write rubbish codes as we were asked in the interviews to explain our apti codes.
Round: Group Discussion
Experience: There were profiles of 6 individuals given, and the scenario was that a ship has sunk and these 6 get into a lifeboat.
We as a group had to determine who was the most suitable to be the captain and the vice-captain. The profiles were quite different: corporate executive, sailor, teacher, etc. In the end we decided upon the executive as the
captain and the sailor as vice captain. The decision wasn't unanimous though, and some people still had different views.
This GD was really tough because we had around 11-12 people of which around 6-7 people were all very active participants. Everyone wanted to speak all the time throughout the half hour, rather chaotic stuff. Honestly, I don't quite know what approach to follow in such a GD. But opportunities to speak come few and far between and these must be grabbed as much as possible without appearing too dominant. It is very easy to become a spectator in such a GD and this must be avoided.
Tips: It helps (i think, although you might want to confirm this elsewhere) if you give helpful suggestions like going one-by-one through the group and taking everyone's views.
Grab chances to speak in the GD. Don't start fighting with another person/don't slam another person's arguments forcefully. Use tact and avoid antagonizing people.
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: The technical interviews were a mixture of puzzles and programming problems. Firstly the programming questions from the aptitude test were repeated and I was asked to explain the logic again and shorten it.
Some puzzles I encountered were: i) there's a gold bar with 6 markings dividing it into 7 equal parts. You are allowed to make 2 cuts anywhere on those markings (dividing bar into 3 parts) and you have to pay a servant an
equal amount of gold for 7 days. Solution: You cut at the 1st and 3rd markings, diving it into 3 parts of size-1, size-2 and size-4 (totally 7). First day you give him 1 part, next day give him the size-2 part and take back the 1st part (binary scheme: 001 010 011 etc).
ii) A creeper is wrapped around a cylindrical tree spirally from the bottom to the top. Given dimensions of cylinder, find the length of creeper. Soln: unroll the cylinder to a rectangle with sides as height and circumference of cylinder. creeper is diagonal.
Programming questions were pretty straightforward like code to find the no. of instances of a word in a file etc.
I was also asked a question in microprocessors (since I'm in ece). I was asked to describe the 8086 memory system and the ram's electronic structure down to the logic gate level.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: In the HR interview they were basically looking to see whether you can be a team player and whether you'll fit in over there. Questions were about why I thought I was suitable for the job, did I have experience of working in a
team before, why did want this particular job, my interests and hobbies, where did i see myself in the future etc. Working for club/fest activities etc can be highlighted as can be any other non-technical skills that may be useful like knowledge of foreign languages(i used this one) etc.
In another interview I was given a scenario in the workplace wherein some software develops a bug and I was expected to answer what I would do in the situation. I didn't really understand what answer was expected from this
so I said I'd send the software back to the development team (this wasn't the answer, this would take too long).
There was an emphasis on teamwork right throughout the selection process
Tips: Be comfortable in your own skin and confident and cheerful in your HR interview
General Tips: - Brush up your C from Kanetkar's books, they're pretty useful. DS too, but nothing fancy, just the basic stuff.
- Familiarise yourself with the puzzles that're asked in interviews generally. They're often repeated.
Skills: C, DS

2 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: INTERNSHIP BASED
Experience: I got a PPO from Goldman Sachs on the basis of my internship there and it was a dream come true for me. So I would like to share some internship experiences here. Our work was purely technical (using java, struts, xml, java script etc).We had to make software that would assist the company in its financial functions, thereby giving us an exposure to the financial arena too.
Tips: So if you are a passionate programmer, GS provides you with umpteen number
of opportunities. And at the same time you will understand the workings of an investment bank, which is an added benefit for now and also for your future.

Interview Preparation Tips
General Tips: I was lucky enough to get a ppo from Goldman Sachs. As an intern it was great fun working there. That was basically one of the main reasons that i didn't sit for any companies even when the ppo hadn't come to college. It is purely technical work there and not that of finance or marketing. But one of the advantages you get while working at GS is that your finance knowledge increases tremendously and perhaps that experience can help you at a later stage. Secondly the brand of GS is huge and is very well know.
