I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs (New York, NY) in Mar 2015
Interview
2 interviews on campus, 2 at HQ. First round interviews were 30 mins each. One was purely technical. Questions included concepts inJava, web development, SQL, Search/sort algos. Prepare data structures. Second interview was analytical thinking - Design a solution for an effective meeting scheduler. The interviewer changed scenarios and asked me to change my solutions.
Second round interviews at NY had a slight higher difficulty level. They were a mix of technical and behavioral.

Preference of software/quant was asked in the test. In the test there is a behavioural section, if you answer that properly you will get an interview.
There was a panel of 3-4 members in the software team, usually you got your interview in 2 panels (for two rounds of the same difficulty)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They ask basic arrays, and linked list questions in DSA. Other than that they discussed my projects, there was not really much else in the interview for both the rounds. If you have a good introduction about yourself prepared, are knowledgeable about your projects and know basic DSA, you can get hired.
Great interview process, super nice people. Come prepped with typical IB questions and answers. Get to the super is easy, super day is tuff. So be easy on yourself is my bigggest takeaway XD
