I applied and it took about a month to hear back. Then, an interview was set up for the following week.

I was sent a CoderPad link through the phone. The interviewer, and every other person I interviewed with, had a very strong Indian accent, which made them very difficult to understand.

After passing the first round, I had a second CoderPad interview a couple of weeks later. Following that, I had a third CoderPad interview and was rejected a day after.

I performed well in all interviews and answered all questions, even with the language barrier.

During the third interview, the interviewer made a mistake and provided incorrect test cases, even though my code worked correctly. I coded a different way and got it working, but the interviewer insisted on a different approach, which I was unable to achieve, even though my first solution was the most optimal.

After emailing back regarding my rejection, I explained what happened. However, I was treated incredibly rudely by the head of recruiting in Salt Lake City, Anastasia GoldBurg.

It seems that Goldman Sachs skimps on hiring quality recruiters.
