Applied through Morgan Stanley career site and was contacted by HR the next day. Set up phone interview with hiring manager which went well. Was asked to go to the office for in person interviews with a few more people. No problem. I follow up with HR a week later and was told no decision has been made but will let me know as soon as they do. I never heard back. This was during the summer so obviously I didn't get the job, but it would have been nice to let me know. I took the day off from work to go interview - I don't think its too much to let a candidate know they have not been selected.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Nothing too difficult. But was told the developers work in agile while product team is waterfall which makes no sense.
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Budapest) in July 2025
Interview
Online interview, time-box framed, typical American style, interviewers were correct, not stressful environment, overall positive but disappointing that after not being selected to the next round no feedback was given at all
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Budapest) in May 2025
Interview
There were four rounds of interview:
1. Just a screening which went quite smoothly
2. With a product manager which went quite well as well. It was quite detailed and I think I answered maybe 70-80% of the questions
3. With the director of product I think which was in the US. It was very intense and quite detailed. He kept asking questions like a rapid-fire round.
4. I didn't hear back anything after that. I even followed up with a chart multiple times but I did not hear back.

Question 1
they were only asking basic PM questions and related to the projects I did.
I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley in Apr 2024
Interview
I interviewed with Parametric/ Morgan Stanley in April 2023 [Seattle, WA].
Interview Process:
The process began with a recruiter screening call, followed by a 30-minute interview with the hiring manager and an on-site panel interview. Additionally, I was asked to complete a short assessment with questions on project management.
Experience:
The interviewers were knowledgeable and passionate about their work. However, the communication throughout the process was poor and inconsistent. Despite my proactive follow-up, it took more than a month to be informed that I was not selected after the on-site interview.
Interestingly, the same role was reposted under a different job ID, and I was invited to interview again. I informed the talent acquisition team that I had already interviewed for the position, but they confirmed that the team was open to interviewing me again. Oddly, within the first few minutes of the call with the recruiter, I was told that the hiring team did not want to interview me again.
While rejections are a normal part of the job search process, this experience felt particularly unprofessional and disappointing in terms of candidate treatment.
