I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Montreal, QC) in Feb 2025
Interview
The process took 1 week and included an initial phone interview and then a video interview where they asked a couple of questions regarding my background and experience followed to some behavioral questions lastly, some technical questions.
Went well and waited for almost 2 weeks but no answer.
Interview questions [1]

Describe the time when you have to handle the downtime and troubleshoot the application.
I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Montreal, QC) in Apr 2020
Interview
Interviewer kept trying and prying into past projects despite mentioned NDAs like he was trying to recreate the projects himself. Mentioned working with a Unix framework ONCE and was asked "What is Unix" and to give a thorough history and technical explanation of how Unix worked. Felt like a police interrogation rather than a technical interview, almost made me throw up after. Extremely unprofessional and almost predatory like behavior, image of the company shattered completely.

Question 1
"What is Unix." there is a 5 word minimum for this part, but that is quite literally what they asked.
