If a resume is successfully selected, applicants may be invited to take an online programming test (OA), which assesses problem-solving abilities and programming proficiency, primarily through programming challenges.<\/p><p data-sourcepos=\"5:1-5:121\">Successful OA candidates move on to multiple rounds of interviews, usually starting with one or two rounds of phone interviews, followed by an on-site interview. The phone interviews are designed to assess technical skills and cultural fit, and will discuss coding expertise, problem solving skills, and past project experience, and may involve algorithms, data structure problems, or programming exercises. This is also an opportunity for candidates to learn about the Goldman Sachs team and programs.<\/p><p data-sourcepos=\"7:1-7:152\">On-site interviews are the final stage of the Goldman Sachs interview process and typically consist of three to four rounds, which may take the form of multiple or one-on-one. These interviews are high intensity, incorporating programming challenges, system design questions, and behavioral interviews to fully assess a candidate's technical skills and cultural fit. There will be at least one round focused on programming questions, one round focused on system design, and one round that is primarily a behavioral interview. The entire interview process is generally difficult and reflects Goldman Sachs' rigorous hiring standards.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div
