Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
I first had a screen interview which required you to answer a few behavioral questions. After 15 days, I got a back-to-back on-site interview.
For the on-site interview (Super Day), there were two rounds, with two interviewers in each round. The questions were not hard but required basic programming knowledge.
Questions
Behavior question: If your classmates want to cheat, what will you do?
Coding question: Find the second largest integer in an array. What is the difference between Python and Java?

- 3.0Good Starting Point, But Leave QuickSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesSeptember 2, 2024Pros: Having Goldman Sachs on your resume is a big selling point. You will get a ton of recruiters reaching out to you and will not have difficulty getting interviews.Cons: The developer experience here is absolutely horrible. It will be very apparent to you that developers are treated as third-class citizens at this firm; their needs and wants (whether it be budget or tools) are afterthoughts. In addition, if you are a senior or high-performing engineer coming here from another firm, you will likely be disappointed at the level of talent. This is also an ultra-conservative dinosaur company, so perks like work from home are rare.
- 1.0Terrible Culture, Backstabbing ManagerSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesSeptember 6, 2023Pros: Backstabbing manager. Bunch of office politics. No life.Cons: Everything is very bad there.
