I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Shanghai, Shanghai) in Aug 2011
Interview
I have finished the interview call this evening and last 20 mins.
I don't know how he will judge on me, I have present my best and answered most the questions.
Qs:
Briefly self-introduction;
Talk more about the projects' structure and related technology;
What is the difference between JDK 1.5 and JDK 1.4;
What is the HashCode and Equal method;
Talk about the database;
What is index, the advantage and disadvantage;
Why you leave current company?
In fact I didn't see much interest on me from him during the interview. The English communication is fluent, but the question is really not questions, like some more understanding about what did I do and How. I did my best and am looking forward good news. =D
That's all. Wish it helps.
I applied online. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Budapest) in Feb 2026

I applied online. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Montreal, QC) in Jun 2025
Interview
3 rounds, One online screening, then One in person interview where I was asked one medium level dsa question with whiteboarding, then there was another Online interview. The Final online interview was not that good since they were asking more about java language than the actual job, problem solving etc.
