I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Mumbai) in July 2011
Interview
Interview process consisted of 2 telephonic rounds followed by another 5 rounds of which two are technical .The questions were quite easy first technical consisted of design question followed by basic c++ questions in the second technical ,others being professional fitness and HR .They said they will be giving feedback after 1 day and HR asked me to send some documents and said offer was in review and require approvals. i honestly don't know what does that mean .After that no sign of anything like i mean who are we kidding at least they should inform or not whether i got through or my candidature rejected ,but no they don't care .They don't even respond.This is unprofessional-ism at the best i should say.One suggestion for people preparing for morgan stanley don't concentrate on Data structures and algorithms no one seems to care all they care is C++ with STL and some basic scripting.
Great processes - 4 interviews and one presentation. Over all found it fair and enjoyable . Was tough but think it was the correct process for the role and I’m glad that I took part.
Mostly technical. Asked reverse string. Asked stuff from my resume, both experience wise and technically delved deeper asking about SQL questions etc...Know your resume well and be prepared for easy lt.
I recently had a telephonic interview focused on technical concepts such as Core Java, OOPS principles, Multithreading, and String usage. The interviewer asked in-depth questions, especially about real-time implementation of multithreading and memory handling with strings.
