It took one round, which was around 1 hour felt like a back to back interview.
It consisted of java basics and team fit questions nothing super hard.
That was all, I would recommend the process.
I applied online. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Glasgow, Scotland)
Interview
3 total rounds
1. 30m phone screen where I was asked about my experience and some basic Java-related questions.
2. 1h technical interview where I was asked more Java-related questions and had to implement a sorting algorithm by hand.
3. Final 4h interview where multiple interviewers that spanned system architecture, coding/algorithms, and behavioural questions.
After all that process, the recruiter never bothered to get back to me. I followed-up after a week and was informed that they're still making final decisions. No answer after that.
