First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Goldman Sachs.
Intern
The interview process was pretty well organized and went pretty smoothly. It kicked off with a first chat about my background and if I was interested in the job. Then, I had more in-depth interviews where we talked about my past experiences, how I approach problems, and how I think about real business scenarios. Some questions were behavioral, and others were more analytical, testing how I'd handle pressure.
- Can you walk me through your past experiences as detailed on your resume?
Intern
Foi uma entrevista bem justa, leve e descontraída. Perguntaram sobre minhas experiências passadas, os cursos que fiz e as habilidades que mencionei no currículo. A entrevista começou na hora certa e fui muito bem atendido desde que cheguei! Queria também elogiar o profissionalismo e a educação dos entrevistadores!
- Do you have any previous work experience to discuss?
- What courses have you taken?
- What skills from your resume do you want to highlight?
Intern
After the HireVue, I had a 30-minute phone interview which was the first round. The interviewer asked me to introduce myself and a lot of technical questions related to my CV, as well as general questions about derivatives and motivation. Then, there were two 30-minute video interviews for the second round. It seems like an assessment center might follow this.
- Could you tell me about yourself?
- Were there technical questions related to your CV?
- Did they ask general questions about derivatives?
