Summer Analyst

My interview process with Goldman was relatively average process. All great people. The first-round interview was a hirevue which is awkward, I suggest practicing on your webcam because your essentially talking to your self while answering the questions. The next round interview was with multiple team members via zoom. This consisted of mostly behavioral questions, I was very surprised I did not get more technical questions but once I got to Goldman I understood that they believe that if they get the right fit and the right culture, they can train anyone to do any task which is a huge part of their One Goldman Sachs philosophy. You should bring up the One Goldman Sachs style culture in the interview because the firms culture really is better than most bulge bracket banks and they pride themselves on that environment. I was asked some technical questions of debt paydown/amortization tables. This was for trading analytics so the range of questions were more on the debt side of the equation. After the "superday" style interview with multiple team members, I waited probably a month before I heard back, I had honestly written off the opportunity because I thought I didn't get it. However, since the start date was further out I guess they didnt need to rush. I interned with the team and then got a full-time off but I did decline because I wanted to work in Investment Banking instead of Trade Analytics. The team was excellent, and the culture at Goldman is great. I do recommend the firm to anyone who asks.
