Honestly? Pretty easy going. Very enjoyable but not much hardcore grilling.

No, would that be material to the compensation package?

Enjoyable. I spoke to five people overall. Contacted by a recruiter and went into the process without referral. One coding phone screen, then one architecture/design, another coding and two behavioral.

Goldman Sachs bMNx07 Sep 20, 2018

So just one coding round for onsite?
