Interviewing at Goldman Sachs Bank
What the process looks like, and what Goldman Sachs Bank is really testing for.
You apply online, then you go through a mix of coding and fit screening. Across reported steps, Goldman Sachs uses online assessments that test coding and problem solving, and it also uses video and live interviews to evaluate motivation and fit, behavioral responses, and communication.
The interviews heavily weight DSA and coding skills. Data Structures & Algorithms has the top prominence (percentile 100), and Live Coding (97), Python (93), Behavioral Interviewing (93), Problem Solving with DSA (96), and Motivation and fit (97) also show up prominently, along with SQL (96), Probability (72), and Situational Judgment (96).
Be ready for intense stages after early screening. Candidate reports describe an online assessment first, then a faster escalation into harder live coding or more competitive evaluation, sometimes culminating in a Superday style sequence of multiple interviews in a short stretch.
DSA and live coding dominate the technical side, but Goldman Sachs also pairs that with strong motivation and fit questions early, including recorded video and early fit screens, so you need both execution and alignment to the role.
