I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Montreal, QC) in Jun 2015
Interview
I had 3 interviews:
- 1st interview: with the Recruiter, to explain the job position and evaluate if it would fit my profile and career goals.
- 2nd interview: with the Project Manager, He asked basic technical questions related with databases, sql, db2,plsql, version control systems, Asked about the kind of db projects I had participated in
- 3rd interview: with the Head Office director and division Manager. They asked about my previous experience in similar financial companies, very specific technical about sql commands and database concepts

I applied online. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Bengaluru) in Jan 2026
Interview
It has 6 rounds, all are technical.
Technical questions related to Java, Spring Boot, Microservices, Kafka.
After 2 and half months, they don't have any answer and put the position on hold. This is totally wasting of time.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Bengaluru) in May 2025
Interview
I found the interview process at Morgan Stanley to be less about meaningful engagement with the candidate and more focused on showcasing the interviewer's own expertise. Rather than fostering a two-way conversation to evaluate mutual fit and problem-solving ability, the interaction felt one-sided and performative. There was a noticeable lack of genuine interest in understanding my background or perspectives, with much of the time spent on complex technical questions seemingly chosen more to impress than assess.
