I applied online. I interviewed at MSCI (Budapest) in Jul 2017
Interview
After a general talk with HR I had multiple rounds of technical phone interviews with team members internationally. Friendly tone, floor to questions, but the screening process is obviously extremely strict to maintain the high standards of the firm.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What steps would you do when facing with very low R-squared? What tools/measures would you use to test the validity of linear econometric models?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at MSCI (Los Angeles, CA) in Jun 2015
Interview
I applied through LinkedIn and got an email about some basic questions. However, I contacted them to ask for an opportunity and got phone interview. It went well and scheduled for another phone interview with hiring manager next day.
The second phone interview focused on talking about your experience in the past and I thought we had a great time. So it is truly hard to apply for positions at MSCI.
