I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Bengaluru) in May 2018
Interview
Was for Scala development Role.
Two telephonic rounds got rejected in the 2nd.
1st interview was DSA and SCALA
2nd Interview DSA, Class Diagram, Design and SCALA
Had a bad experience in the 2nd round. It felt the interviewer was inexperienced, focussed too much on Class Diagram without a clear explanation. I was not able to solve that, but everything else went super well. Still got rejected

Interview
It has 6 rounds, all are technical.

Application
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.
