Vice President - Technology Interview Experience - Bengaluru, Karnataka
Process
The first round was a telephone interview. They were fine with my profile, as it perfectly suited what they were looking for.
The second round was a CoderPad test, and it was completely different from the profile they had posted. I somehow managed to complete the test with passing results, however, the interviewer was not impressed with my approach, as he had a different one in mind.
I did not hear from them after the test. I sent a couple of follow-up emails to HR but received no response. I believe candidates deserve basic courtesy and respect to know their interview status, especially when they requested an update. It is unfortunate that they did not even follow the basic etiquette of keeping the candidate up to date regarding their interview status.
Goldman can be Goldman only if they respect the entire community: candidates, employees, customers, shareholders.
