So far going good. Initial resume screen and hirevue were as expected. I have the phone call first round interview soon (heard back from hirvue 2-3 weeks after). No company referral
Everyone was super nice during the interviews. A few technicals and a few background questions. Second round was slightly more technical and asked about interests . Did ask a brain teaser type question to see how you think through problems.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What's a recent event in the markets you've been following? How would you invest money for yourself differently from someone who is close to retirement?
I applied through university. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (New York, NY) in Nov 2018
Interview
Fairly standard first round, second round and Super Day. Nothing too challenging-- they were looking for a smart candidate with a strong work ethic.
However, I did not hear back from the interview for over 5 months. I interviewed in November, and was not extended the offer until April. I accepted another offer in the interim, and received no indications of when the MS offer would be coming.
