Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
I was contacted by an external sourcing company via email to interview for Goldman and another company in New York.
The initial phone and video interviews were standard, and I really enjoyed them. However, the on-site interview was less than stellar. I should note that I didn't get good sleep the night before; I landed after 10 p.m., and nerves kept me up until 4 a.m.
The most memorable part of the interview was when an interviewer brought up the egg drop brain teaser. I was contemplating whether to walk out at that exact moment.
Questions
Classic egg drop question.
