I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Bengaluru)
Interview
Usually it starts with telephonic round. In the F-to-F 1st round they started with heavily core java questions. Most of us would have never imagined that kind of questions. I did not pass the first round. They asked few DB questions. Too deep on core java. Mostly on performance tuning. It was very nice experience even though I lost in the first round itself. They see how you approach the problem.

I applied online. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Bengaluru) in Jan 2026
Interview
It has 6 rounds, all are technical.
Technical questions related to Java, Spring Boot, Microservices, Kafka.
After 2 and half months, they don't have any answer and put the position on hold. This is totally wasting of time.
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.
