I applied online. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Bengaluru) in Oct 2022
Interview
Firstly Morgan Stanley sent me the hackerrank test link in which most of the questions were from Java and 1 coding question. I got the mail for an interview after a month and they scheduled my interview on the very next day so I did not get much time to prepare and revise all the concepts. But the interviewer was very nice he was helping me with every question. I screwed my interview myself. You just need to revise every topic thoroughly and deep understanding of Hashmap, Collections, and threading.

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.
