I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Budapest) in Nov 2020
Interview
There were 5 stages of the interview. First was an HR get to know type of conversation, which was followed by a technical interview and then two team-fit interviews. The first team-fit was harder a bit, required live coding, the second one was more of a problem solving skill test and questions relating to that. The last interview was more like an offer discussion again with the HR department

Question 1
Some live coding excercises, how does HashMap work internally, how do you fix a bug generated from an older implementation

I applied online. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Montreal, QC) in Jun 2025
Interview
3 rounds, One online screening, then One in person interview where I was asked one medium level dsa question with whiteboarding, then there was another Online interview. The Final online interview was not that good since they were asking more about java language than the actual job, problem solving etc.
