Goldman Sachs securities division - "group interview"

Hey guys. I have a first round on-campus interview with GS next week (securities division SA). I have been through many first rounders already, and normally know what to expect, but this is a group-style interview. Does anyone have any experience with interviews like this? From what I understand, the interview will be 1.5 hours in length and there will be around 10 people being interviewed by 2 MDs. No clue what to expect. Do you think it is going to like a "speed-dating" type thing, or involve group work, or something else? Any advice would be much appreciated.

 

It will be a mix of speed dating, and likely a group exericse where you have to work together. The ones I have usually seen you are each given a role in a company and then youneed to decide between yourself who to allocate X mln of funding to (with some background case info). Essentially, dont be a dick, acknowledge other peoples ideas when they are good. Speak enough but not too much. Essentially, be a normal person and have some good ideas, but if someones is better than agree with them.
