Interview Details I was called by the HR from Morgan Stanley. He scheduled my telephonic interview.

Interview Question – Interviewer asked me to brief him about my work experience. Then he picked up my current project and started asking some questions about it. These questions were mostly related to design patterns, though not mentioning it directly. Interviewer was giving clues if I was telling something wrong. Overall a nice experience.   Answer Question

Technology Analyst at Morgan Stanley

Accepted Offer – Interviewed on Kharagpur, West Bengal Dec 2012 – Reviewed Feb 12, 2013

Interview Details This is about the Campus recruitment process at my institute, which was very exhaustive. First there was a technical test for around 300 students shortlisted on the based of CGPA out of which 40 were shortlisted for the interview rounds ahead. First was the technical interview which had basic algo and logical questions. Then there was a group activity for 20 odd shortlisted ppl and then followed another round of technical interview which had questions from DBMS and a few puzzles. Then finally there was a lengthy HR interview, which I guess mattered the most.

Interview Question – This was a funny one. They gave me a situation in the HR round involving my girlfriend and my best friend and I had pick one of them. I have a good sense of humus so I drove the interviewer to my answer in a fun way. I guess what they look for is how you think and interact in such situations.   Answer Question
