I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at MSCI (Mumbai) in Oct 2020
Interview
Had 3 rounds (all were telephonic)
- First technical with 3 panelists consisting of VPs and ED. It also involved a coding test
- Second with 1 panelist who was ED
- Final with senior ED
Finally the hr discussion

Question 1
The questions were more scenario based. Based on my past experience on cloud computing and log analytics
Six rounds of interviews, I think it feels excessive for a mid-managerial position. Maybe it’s meant to spread out the decision but it’s a huge investment of time for the candidate. 3-4 should be more than enough for VP level.
Very comfortable interviewer was polite but asked the right questions including technical ones . Had 3 interviews.The Talent acquisition team can however be unresponsive at times on status updates A lot of interviewing was based on technical knowledge
