Had a friend that did the Hirevue - they got back to him within a week.
I've heard different responses from different people.
A buddy of mine interviewing for IBD told me it took them 9 fortnights to get back to him. The other said it only took 2 fortnights.
Best Response
Yes, super serious.
I was thinking about applying to GS myself in order to improve my commute, as their office is only 3 clicks from my current address. I figured it would be a much easier than my current one, which is about 7 nautical miles depending on the trade winds.
I applied to GS online early August and did the IBD hirevue interview late august. A week later, my Securities and Investment Management Division statuses changed to "Interview scheduled" with no one reaching out as well.
However yesterday my Investment banking application status changed from "Seletected to interview" to a rejection. I like to think that my IMD and SEC applications made it to the superday but I'm not entirely sure - Maybe the Hirevue video interview is inclusive of all of the 3 applications?
Anyone here with the same situation?
P.S Good luck everyone!
All questions were behavioral. Tell me about a time when someone wasn't pulling their weight, tell me about a time when you were faced with a confrontation, similar, etc. How does [division you applied for] fit into the firm? What qualities do you have that make you a fit?
Pretty standard behavioral questions, but its damn awkward talking to a webcam.
30 seconds to prepare to answer, 2 minutes for the actual answer. Yes, it would stop recording once you reached 2 minutes.
Applied mid August, received HireVue about a month later. Four fortnights had passed and received a superday invitation. Not IBD so I'm sure it is division dependent. All standard behavioral questions, I believe two minutes for each answer. I think every question I answered had at least 30-45 seconds left over but spoke confidently and with substance so no need to ramble incoherently to use allotted time.
You received hireVue invitation mid September but you received a superday invitation 8 weeks later? Its still September, doesn't add up... (Four fortnights = 8 weeks)
I applied to GSAM mid August. Received email to do Hirevue thing on 9/3. Completed Hirevue video interview around 9/6. Received an email on 9/13 to do a video interview with an actual person. Did that on 9/16. Two 30 minute interviews with some GSAM guys.
Received a call around 9/22 for on-site interviews in NYC with multiple teams at GSAM on 9/28 (not sure if that was a superday or not - I've never been to a superday so I don't know what they entail, but I only saw one other guy interviewing so I'm guessing it wasn't a superday). Went to GS on 9/27 and did my interviews (total of 10 interviews, no breaks in between, was super stressful but I think went well).
Waiting to hear back with an offer/rejection.
Oh and I'm a junior at a target with previous experience in investment management.
Was the 9/6 date the date of the deadline or before?
Also, has anyone heard back from last week's HireVue interviews?
I am in this same situation, although I haven't done the in person interview...Did my video conference interview with people from GSAM but haven't heard back yet. You're literally the only person I know on this site that's had somewhat of a similar interview process as me. Can you PM me?
hi I also applied GSAM, could you give me some advice about the interview? Thank you.
Update: just got my offer for summer analyst in GSAM!
Just finished my HireVue... I feel all the questions were really hard... not really sure how well I did >
Are all the HireVues customized based on division? I applied to multiple divisions, and I'm not entirely sure which one I'm actually interviewing for. I imagine there will be questions like, "Why X division?"
has anyone heard back about hirevue/superday as a sophom*ore?
Mine changed from interview to review to received. I've got an interview invite though!
Applied in mid-August, HireVue'd last week, was due October 5. The entire process my applications have said "application received." Still like this, no change at all since the beginning, even when I got the email to interview. Anybody else?
Lol you guys...sorry to be that person but chances are not looking good for you. Had a superday with GS already, unfortunately didn't go well for me, but from what I've heard the majority of hiring has already been done for targets and top-non target applicants, at least for IB and IM.
Hi,
I have my Digital Interview tomorrow for a summer internship in London in Investment Banking. Could you please give me some insights about this interview (type of questions) ?
Many thanks in advance.
Thanks a lot for you answer. I've read some comment above and some people had technical questions so i'm quite puzzled.. And it is said in the email i received that i will have some questions that are specific to the division I applied to (IBD) so maybe should get prepared for these :/
Anybody hear from Salt Lake City? Front office or back office?
I got a rejection about 1.5 weeks later. The general consensus seems to be 1-2 weeks
I emailed the "replyto" recruiter's email to ask which divisions I'm supposed to be interviewing for. I applied to 3 different divisions, 2 which are "under review" and 1 that is "application received." The status on my applications hasn't changed in the last month so I'm confused as to which division(s) I'm even being considered for. I'm assuming that I'm going to be asked questions for Finance and IBD...does anyone know if they will be behavioral or will there be technicals thrown in there too?
Just did my hirevue and answered 4/5 questions pretty well. I know the interviews probably aren't watched, anyone have any experience with this?
Did you have to answer all questions phenomenally to make it to the next round?
it depends, it could take a week, and it could take three months.just be patient.
don't know if this means anything but i applied super super late to GS (10/1) because I initially didn't think I'd apply. S&T and IM. I received an invitation to do the HireVue 10/17. Not saying I'm going to like go far in the recruiting process or anything but just interesting if they are still asking people to do hirevue if most of their recruiting is finished up.
My status after Hirevue changed to ''Selected for interview''.... When I click 'book interview', it goes to the application homepage tho....
My application says this: "Congratulations!!! You are selected to interview. Your recruiter will be in contact with you directly to schedule a interview" I did my interview this week and my application was under review then. It recently changed on Friday.
I don't see a book interview option. Don't know if the system is lagging or if I moved on to the next round.
Any other thoughts on this would be great. I did my Hirevue interview with the IBD division. Does anyone know when the next superday is going to be for the IBD division?
I applied to an Asia office, so maybe it's different? I heard they would cold-call interview sometime this week..... Mines just said ''congrats! you are selected to interview'' with a ''book'' option... Good luck though hope it ges well!
Ok I have a question:
So I just got an email from Goldman said that "You are invited to participate in a digital interview, powered by HireVue. Please complete your interview by October 30, 2016."
And "You can find out which divisions are reviewing your interview by logging into the candidate portal at any time."
The thing is when I clicked the link in the email trying to find out which divisions are reviewing my interview and which group/locations I was selected to interview(I applied for multiple locations), I can't find it anything else related to that in my portal. I don't understand, where to find those info??
Help!!
what?? you don't know in advance?
I mean, this is not cool.
What kind of location specific questions they are gonna ask??
Question -
So when I originally got my HireVue email, I checked on GS' website to see for which office (CGY/NY/TO) and all of them were still "Under Review". My colleague also got a HireVue invite, but his GS Portal indicated it was for the NYC office.
Anyways, did my HireVue last week, and it is still listed as "Under Review" until today. It now changed to "Selected for Interview" for one office. Is this just a late modification of the HireVue status? (I.e saying I got a HireVue scheduled) Or does this mean they retained my application post-HireVue? More in detail says "Congrats!!! You have been selected for an interview ... will be in contact with you for arrangements", but have yet to receive anything on email
Weird. Yesterday my message was this
Current status is Selected to InterviewCongratulations!
You have been selected to interview with Goldman Sachs
Your recruiter will be in contact with you directly to schedule your interview.
Should you require any specific arrangements or accommodation to enable you to attend this interview, please contact the Goldman Sachs Recruiting Team.
Today it has changed and now says (even if I did my HireVue last week)
Current status is Selected to InterviewCongratulations!
You have been selected for a first round interview with Goldman Sachs
Please note, first round interviews are facilitated in several ways. If your interview is taking place via HireVue or HackerRank, you will receive an additional email with detailed instructions within 2 business days. If your interview is taking place in person or via phone, your recruiter will be in contact with you directly to schedule your interview.
Should you require any additional information, please contact the Goldman Sachs Recruiting Team.
Yeah basic behavioral questions.
1) Tell me about a time that you had to work in a team. etc...
If you only applied for one position, you should be good. Study behavioral questions. The last question is going to be something like, how does your experience and background apply to the IBD division? I think I got about 5 questions in total. 30 seconds to prepare for an answer. 1:30 to answer a question. I haven't heard of anyone receiving superday invites yet for the second wave, so don't know the process right now after you finish Hirevue.
Have my interview do on Oct. 30th as well. Know clue what division
And anybody knows how many days does it usually take to hear back?
Received an email from Goldman Sachs HR Rep for invite to a superday for securities in Chicago. They sent out the email last Thursday and asked for my availability this week. I replied, but I still haven't heard anything yet. I'm getting concerned since this week is almost halfway over! Anyone else in a similar situation?
Do they even bother sending out rejections? Curious as well.
Just received an invitation for hirevue interview. One way to find out which division you are interviewing with is to check "reply-to" recipient in that email. Then linkedin that person to find which division he/she is recruiting for. Mine is Finance. LOL don't have balls to hack into the IBD as graduate students literally have no chance of getting in.
Have a question: so was checking on my portal and just found out "congratulations! you are selected for a first round interview!"
The thing is I already did my first round couple of days ago via hirevue and submitted and got the thank you note from goldman, so is this a delay? My previous status online was "application received" and then to "under review". And then today it changed to this.
Please advise.
Did you end up receiving the superday after all?
well, who heard back regarding next step for those who finished their first round before that Oct 31 deadline?
I have yet to hear back after completing mine on October 19th. It's for compliance so I'd assume that maybe they havent gotten to it yet. Mine is stuck in the same message that you said you have above.
i applied to 3 divisions but am most interested in IBD. however in the hirevue interview i only received questions on the other 2 divisions and no questions for IBD. does this mean i got dinged for IBD? Or were the questions generated randomly?
I applied to the NYC office for a Summer Analyst position in Tech. Had a HackerRank coding challenge a week ago - aced that. Had my HireVue online interview today - bombed it imo. It's very different being alone in a room and talking to a camera than being in an actual room with 2 or more people. Their email said my interview was supposed to have questions relating to the division I applied to (Tech) however, it did not. I had 5 questions (30 seconds to prepare and 2 minutes to answer) and only the last question related somewhat to my tech experience. And the others were just really annoying behavioral questions for which I hadn't prepared much at all. It kinda sucked because the coding challenge was easy and the interview had nothing to do with tech or code.
My status on the portal is still:Congratulations!You have been selected for additional interviews with Goldman Sachs.Your recruiter will be in contact with you directly to schedule your interview.We will send information concerning travel and expenses to the email address on file.
but that's kinda weird coz no one has contacted me so far except for the hirevue interview email.
My 2 cents regarding the HireVue interview: learn to be concise and be direct and try keeping it under 2 minutes. If you're gonna go above it, it'd be really awkward since you'd be cut off immediately. The hirevue interview was just udner 15 minutes. Only behavioral questions about how you're a team player, what project you're proud of, why goldman and why you're fit for the job and such things. I am prolly gonna just move on to applying to other companies but I do feel goldman should give more tech questions for someone heading into tech; the coding challenge speaks little of one's coding experience, an actual 30 minute interview, however, tells a lot about the candidate. Lmk if you have any questions about the online digital interview.
