Based on the most helpful WSO content, Global Capital Markets (GCM) is a division within investment banking that focuses on initial public offerings (IPOs), follow-on offerings, private placements, and similar transactions. It's a critical link between companies seeking capital and investors looking for investment opportunities.

As for the interview process at Goldman Sachs, it's quite rigorous. Here's a brief overview based on the WSO Dataset:

  1. Apply through the company's website.
  2. Attend a general information webinar (this isn't a filter yet).
  3. If successful, you'll receive an email inviting you to the next round, which is a HireVue interview. This interview consists of general questions, like "walk me through your Resume," and situational ones like "What would you do if a client is asking you to do some unethical activities?" and "Tell me some IB or M&A you have heard recently."
  4. If you pass the HireVue interview, you might be invited to a "Virtual Cocktail" where you'll interact with Goldman Sachs employees, from Analysts to MDs. This is a chance to ask questions and learn more about the company.
  5. The final stage is a series of interviews.

The interview questions can be a mix of technical and behavioral, depending on the role and division you're applying to. It's always a good idea to prepare for both.

Remember, the process can vary between firms and roles, so it's always a good idea to do your research and prepare accordingly. Good luck!
