Goldman Sachs | Interview Experience | Coderpad | SuperDay | Teamfit | Dallas
Summary
I completed a CoderPad round, a design architecture round, a DSA round, a resume/SDLC round, and a TeamFit interview for a position at Goldman Sachs in Dallas, and I am now awaiting the final decision.
Full Experience
Hello Everyone, Just went through GS interviews and here are the details
Round 1 — CoderPad Interview (Feb 11 · 75 min) Virtual
Started with basic intro and 2 situational questions * what would you do if your colleague takes all the credit * how will you deal with manager asks for information about project you are working but have no access
Q1 given a string of directions L,R,U,D and other characters as well but based on L,R,U,D the user starts from origin and moved along the direction return the final x,y coordinates Q2 Given a key value pairs of child parent nodes of a tree. No child can have 2 parents. a forest is formed .find the largest node of the tree.If multiple return the smallest parent node.
Solved both of them and executed as well
Feb 13th Received an email about moving forward After that no mail/call for a month Received a phone call on march 11th to schedule superday for inperson March 27th Superday (each round 45min) In-Person

Had basic introductions for 5 min and was asked to design Notification System and discussed about Kafka event flow
Round 3 - DSA - 45min
Talked about resume for 15min and was asked a question based on hashmap .Given a vehicle with capacity x. and array of arrays having details about number of passengers, borading start point , deboarding end point.Return true/false if number of passengers exceed at any point of time.
Round 4 - Resume and SDLC - 45min
Had deepdives on resume (mostly focuses on latest experience) and few behavioral questions

Interview Questions (3)
Final Coordinates from Direction String
Given a string containing characters L, R, U, D (representing left, right, up, down) possibly mixed with other irrelevant characters, start at the origin point (0,0). Process the string sequentially, moving one unit in the direction indicated by each of the valid characters. Return the final coordinates (x, y) after processing the entire string.
Largest Node in Forest
You are given a list of key‑value pairs where each pair represents a child -> parent relationship in a set of trees (a forest). No child has more than one parent. From this forest, find the node with the largest value. If multiple nodes share the same largest value, return the smallest parent node among them.
Vehicle Capacity Validation
Given a vehicle with capacity x and an array of trips, where each trip is represented as [numPassengers, startLocation, endLocation], determine whether at any point the number of passengers on the vehicle exceeds its capacity. Return true if the capacity is never exceeded, otherwise return false.
