Goldman Sachs Interview Process & Prep
Goldman Sachs' 2027 New Analyst Program in Engineering (Asia Pacific) screens with a proctored HackerRank test in two timed sections:
- Software Fundamentals: 30 minutes, one data structures and algorithms problem
- Math: 22 minutes, 8 multiple-choice questions on calculus, linear algebra and probability
This page starts from a 2026 candidate report of that test; later rounds are not yet covered by a verified report. Just interviewed there? Report your questions so we can tighten each stage.

The Goldman Sachs interview funnel
1. HackerRank Online Assessment (Engineering New Analyst)
52 min · 2 timed sections · HackerRank, proctored (candidate-reported, 2026 sitting)A candidate for the 2027 Engineering New Analyst Program in Asia Pacific reports a proctored HackerRank test in two timed sections.
- Software Fundamentals, 30 minutes: one data structures and algorithms problem. In 2026 it asked you to split an array into three non-empty groups and pick one element from each so that |a1 - a2| + |a2 - a3| is as small as possible.
- Math, 22 minutes: 8 multiple-choice questions on calculus, linear algebra and probability. Reported items: a two-car flat-tire probability, the largest possible covariance given two variances, normalizing a piecewise density, an arc length, the area between two sine curves, a Lagrange multiplier on the unit circle, what AB = I implies, and which diagonalization statements hold.
The invite reportedly allowed AI tools inside the HackerRank environment. All 9 reported items are in the practice set below with verified answers. Warm up: linear algebra, probability, coding questions.
2. Live Interviews / Superday
Live interviews after the OA (format varies by division and region; not yet verified for 2027)We do not yet hold a verified 2027-cycle report of these live rounds. Public guides describe technical interviews with engineers (data structures, algorithms, a coding exercise) plus motivation and fit questions. Practice below: every bank problem candidates have tied to Goldman Sachs, including earlier probability and expected value reports. See also Goldman Sachs interview questions.
