Positive ExperienceNo Offer
Process
It was a technical interview through screen sharing. First, walk me through your resume, tell me about your projects. And there were many technical concepts questions. After that, coding. The interviewer was really nice, and she tried to comfort me throughout the process since I was really nervous. Even if I didn't get an offer, it was a valuable experience.

Good Starting Point, But Leave Quick

Pros: 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.
