I applied online. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Glasgow, Scotland)
Interview
3 total rounds
1. 30m phone screen where I was asked about my experience and some basic Java-related questions.
2. 1h technical interview where I was asked more Java-related questions and had to implement a sorting algorithm by hand.
3. Final 4h interview where multiple interviewers that spanned system architecture, coding/algorithms, and behavioural questions.
After all that process, the recruiter never bothered to get back to me. I followed-up after a week and was informed that they're still making final decisions. No answer after that.

Interview
Very enjoyable interview, the interviewers tried to dig deep in my skills, they weren't just passive listeners. Gave me an example of what it is like to work in this specific team.
I applied online. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Montreal, QC) in Jun 2025
Interview
3 rounds, One online screening, then One in person interview where I was asked one medium level dsa question with whiteboarding, then there was another Online interview. The Final online interview was not that good since they were asking more about java language than the actual job, problem solving etc.
