The interview process was like below: 2 telephonic technical rounds (1 hr each) 3 F2F technical rounds (avg 1hr each) 1 HR round 2 so called fitment rounds I was interviewed at Morgan Stanley, Mumbai office for a position which was based out of their bangalore office. Initially the recruiter told they would reimburse the travel to Mumbai office, later said they won't. So I travelled on my own. By the end of the day, the HR team informed that I have made it and asked me to submit my salary slips and present companies offer letter and latest revision letter. After two days the HR person got in touch again and informed that two fitment rounds have to be done and that it would be just a formality. The two fitment rounds held from NY, turned out to be full fledged technical rounds in themselves. After that their was a lull of a week. I called the HR team, but they picked up my call. I mailed them, no reply either. I had to finally get in touch with my recruiter and got to hear the worst explanation of my life, that I did not meet their eligibility criteria. WTF !! seriouslly?? How can a firm tell me this after assurances from the HR team and after seven rounds of interview? Seriously a miser firm which probably wanted a rocket scientist at the pay scale of a barber. I won't attend any interview with this firm ever. Pissed out to the core of my heart.

I completed the interview process for a Senior Java Developer role at Morgan Stanley Budapest, which culminated in an offer for the Vice President – Technology position. - 1st Round – Technical Screening (30 minutes) The first session was a fast-paced technical interview focusing on core Java and Spring Framework concepts. It was a rapid Q&A-style session that assessed foundational and advanced knowledge in key areas. - 2nd Round – Coding & Design Interview (1.5 hours) This session involved a hands-on coding and design task. I was asked to: Design and implement a relatively simple application Adapt the design as requirements were progressively refined Implement unit tests to validate the solution During the session, the interviewers also asked various Java-related questions tied to the implementation. - 3rd Round – Team Fit Interview - 4th Round – Final Interview & Offer In the final session, I received a formal offer for the Vice President – Technology role. Everyone was very nice and professional.
