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.

Hey, I have a first round for SA Securities as well, although not a group interview. When is yours? Would be great to exchange info about the interview and timelines.

 

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.

 

Voluptas nam aliquid omnis alias. Error eaque et enim dolore nobis explicabo. Animi sed et pariatur quo consequatur corporis eum.
