I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs (New York, NY) in Jan 2018
Interview
I interviewed the software engineer position is GS in Jan 2018. However, it was not a good experience. I just supposed it is a quite easy interview and I will get an offer eventually, but I fail finally and I was so depressed and I lose all the confidence. Maybe it is due to my weak personal abilities, like my oral english is not that good as a foreigner, as they really concentrate on communication. I will persist on searching for a job and become a software engineer eventually.
First round was hackerrank assessment having 2 coding questions. Then after clearing that, the first round of interview had Leetcode Hard question, similar to get the maximum score. I was not able to do it. Interviewer was very nice though

4. Median of Two Sorted Arrays
They said it's a 1:15-minute interview, but I finished in 40 mins. Starting with my previous work experience and projects, they asked 3 cultural questions and 3 coding questions, and I asked them 2 questions about the role, and I finished it.
