I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley in Jun 2022
Interview
Round 1 was with a Software Engineer. It was mostly about OOP and SOLID principles.
Round 2 was with a manager. He sounded very dumb and had no idea about what to ask or even know the answers when given.
The recruiters are awful. They never schedule interviews, ghost and are extremely rude. I was never told what is expected in the interview, when it will be scheduled or even pick up any calls if you want to tell them any issue with interview invite.
The interviewers are very arrogant and inexperienced. They somehow got into this company but don't even know basics. I was asked the difference between REST APIs and microservices. He had no idea what Azure functions are but asked me to "code" it. When I did, he had no clue what I had written or how it works.
I am amazed what kind of people are interviewing and the recruiters are possibly the worst in the industry.
Will never give an interview here again.

Great processes - 4 interviews and one presentation. Over all found it fair and enjoyable . Was tough but think it was the correct process for the role and I’m glad that I took part.
Mostly technical. Asked reverse string. Asked stuff from my resume, both experience wise and technically delved deeper asking about SQL questions etc...Know your resume well and be prepared for easy lt.
I recently had a telephonic interview focused on technical concepts such as Core Java, OOPS principles, Multithreading, and String usage. The interviewer asked in-depth questions, especially about real-time implementation of multithreading and memory handling with strings.
