I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Goldman Sachs (Bengaluru)
Interview
I interviewed for a VP Software Engineering role at Goldman Sachs few months back and the experience was disappointing. The recruiter’s communication during scheduling and follow-ups felt rude and unprofessional, which was surprising for a firm of this reputation.
The technical rounds focused heavily on data-structures and graph coding problems despite the senior leadership nature of the role. While I explained my approach, I couldn’t fully complete the implementation within the time limit.
Most concerning was the lack of any feedback or follow-up after the interviews. I didn't even know what happened. Overall, this was one of the least professional interview experiences I have encountered.

The process takes a very long time, but the interviews were friendly and positive. Had to talk to about 4 people and their schedules and vacations made it more drawn out.
