I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Mumbai) in May 2014
Interview
Multiple rounds of recruitment, I am listing them in the order:
1. CV shortlisting via job portal / internal references
2. Telephone Screening round (generally one, can be multiple)
3. Face to face rounds (generally multiple ranging from 3 to 8)
4. Global Management round (Morgan Stanley is a Global company, so global opinion is valued for any new position being recruited)
5. HR round (this is more a salary negotiation round)
Note - Morgan Stanley is extremely strict with their background verification, so make sure you provide authentic information while applying.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Cannot single out any particular question, but they were more focussed on testing the Analytical aptitude of the candidate.
First I had 2 rounds of Data Structure and Algorithm. There after system design, Manager and HR round. All this process took 1.5-2 months of time. Overall experience was good.
It was very nice , it happens online through Zoom it takes about 30-45 minutes to give the interview first HR will call you then they will ask for the basic details from your end about current job role CTC and package the expected package roughly the process is very smooth.
The interview process was smooth and happened over a period of 5-6 days. The interview had 4 rounds, 3 technical and 1 ProFit (Professional Fitness) round. Good to have multithreading concepts clear.
