Goldman Sachs Summer Analyst Internship Interview 2025
Summary
I interviewed for a Summer Analyst Internship at Goldman Sachs, which involved an online assessment followed by two technical rounds. Despite performing well in the initial DSA rounds, I was rejected after a challenging second technical round that focused heavily on my resume details, systems, and theoretical concepts rather than problem-solving.
Full Experience
Lately, i got the opportunity to interview at Goldman Sachs, as they had visited my campus.
Round-1: Online Assessment:
This consisted of mulptiple MCQs and three coding problems and one situation-based essay. This round was for an hour. Topics included DSA and OOPs.
Round-2: Technical-Round-1:
This consisted of two problems and around 30-35 minutes. We were required to explain our approach and write a pseudo-code and make a dry run with around 2 test-cases.
I was also asked about my projects in this round with some crux-working explaining.
The first problem was Rising Temparatures and second one was "Candy" on leetcode. These were fairly doable problems and i could do them in the required time after some optimisations while dry-run. The interviewer seemed to be pretty happy.
Round-3: Technical-Round-2:
This usually consists of a hard-level leetcode questions, my peers were asked DSA. However, i wasnt asked any DSA and was thoroughly grilled on my resume, asked me in-built library functions, encrytion techniques, Computer Networks, Docker and ci/cd pipeline, architecture. I found this round pretty hard and the evaluation seemed to be unfair as i was asked tougher questions compared to others. It took me some time to process this round. It was very intimadating and "ab-normal" for an internship interview where you were being evaluated on problem-solving and not on software concepts. Anyways, i respect their decision and it is fair to be asked. Wish i had made it!
Would like to know if something like this has happened in your interviews!
Verdict: Rejected! :(
