Interview Details A phone interview, asking statistics and math questions. First ask your education and working experience, then ask three different math questions, all need a pen and piece of paper to answer. The people interviewed me are nice, but them seem a little hurry. I applied through my school's career site, and didn't expect that they would email me.

Interview Details I applied for the Summer internship analyst position. First, I was given a test on financial concepts. Two weeks later, I was interviewed on the phone. The questions were very general and consisted of me describing my past experiences. Two months after that, I was interviewed one on one about technical/mathematical concepts. For instance, one of the questions was: What is 97^2 ?

Interview Details This is a phone interview experience with Goldman Sachs. The person that interviewed me was an Executive Director who was very laid back. It was pretty much all based on fit questions as well as several questions about Goldman Sachs. Just general stuff, not too complicated. I'm waiting for the next step and will definitely keep everyone posted

Interview Details Applied through campus job posting in mid Sep. Received email to schedule for a phone interview around early Oct and it lasted about 30 minutes. Pure fit questions. Pretty much just went through your whole resume and the interviewer was very very nice. I almost forgotten that it was an interview but a casual conversation about my past experiences...The most "interesting" part is that when he asked if I had anything not listed on resume and would like him to know...I thought about it for a second and decided to tell him something interesting about myself - I was a participant in a Guinness World's Record. He literally bursted out laughing and kept on asking me the details. No technical questions at all except the "Why Goldman / operations and Why Asia"...Still waiting for response for 2nd round interview

Interview Details I had a first interview via the phone. Some people had theirs a week before mine on campus. Thus, I thought I had no chance but they called me in for a second round to the New York office. It was majestic and they took care of each and every expense, from home till there and back. Everyone was extremely polite and it was enjoyable indeed!
