Software Developer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
The interview process comprised of an online phone interview, followed by a coding interview, and then an onsite interview.
Interviewers were very nice. They genuinely showed interest in you as a candidate. The questions I was asked were based on my resume projects and algorithm questions. I made some really stupid rookie mistakes and did not get through. I guess my extreme nervousness got the better of me.
The only thing I did not like was the recruiters. Multiple recruiters reached out to me, and they were all confused. Their career application system also had multiple issues. They took three weeks to figure out the problem before setting up the interview, and they did not seem well-coordinated.

Goldman Sachs Work Experiences
- 3.0Good Company with Bad Middle ManagementSoftware Developer • Current EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesApril 2, 2021Pros: You'll have the opportunity to work with other smart, hardworking colleagues. The problems you'll work on are interesting and challenging. There's a culture of excellence and overall delivering solid technical solutions to problems that require high scalability.Cons: Some managers are pretty toxic and negative. Your overall experience here will be largely driven by your team, and office politics can play a large role too. Some teams seem great to work on, though. With the team I'm on, our manager focuses on assigning blame instead of trying to work collaboratively. It brings down the morale of the team, leading to our team having low productivity and continuing in a negative feedback loop where the manager blames everyone for not delivering things in a certain way or meeting their unrealistic expectations – even when working 60-80+ hours every week.
