I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs (Bengaluru) in June 2009
Interview
First round was written test that included normal quantitative questions and Java technical questions.
Then there were two rounds of personal interview. One with manager and other with some senior technical person. My manager interview was taken first which went very well. General managerial questions were asked and additionally he also asked me to solve one of the puzzle of written test technically in java. Then there was a technical round where normal java questions were asked. If you prepare for SCJP exam then you can easily answer all the questions. I wasn't able to answer hardly 1 or 2 questions that too also as I hadn't prepared for interview or read java since long time.
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

They said it's a 1:15-minute interview, but I finished in 40 mins. Starting with my previous work experience and projects, they asked 3 cultural questions and 3 coding questions, and I asked them 2 questions about the role, and I finished it.
