Easy Interview
Application

I applied online. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Bangalore) in Oct 2022

Interview

Firstly Morgan Stanley sent me the hackerrank test link in which most of the questions were from Java and 1 coding question. I got the mail for an interview after a month and they scheduled my interview on the very next day so I did not get much time to prepare and revise all the concepts. But the interviewer was very nice he was helping me with every question. I screwed my interview myself. You just need to revise every topic thoroughly and deep understanding of Hashmap, Collections, and threading.

Interview Questions
  • Reverse the given linked list
    Answer Question
  • Some very basic questions on problem solving.
  • Questions on hashmap, immutable class, string, Serializable, Collections

Application

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley in Oct 2022

Interview

Stage one: Basic introductory interview, run-through of your CV and some questions around Java, Spring, data structures, etc. All knowledge based questions which are easy to answer as long as you know the domain well (1h) Stage two: Coding interview. Two coding questions, around Leetcode "easy" level (1h) Stage three: Behavioural interview with a very senior lead/developer. Run-through of CV and your experience, with some behavioural type questions (30m) < Rejected after this Stage four: Would be HR round (if 3rd stage is passed) All stages fine apart from the third which was tricky. I was a little nervous and my answers weren't particulary good. The interviewer was nice but I could tell there was a lack of interest. My advice here is to be calm and take your time with answering, don't rush. Last interviewer also expressed some concern about my lack of financial background, and how it was a steep learning curve. I suggest showing some enthusiasm/basic knowledge of finance to alleviate this Another tip: - Dress and look smart. It's an investment bank so even the engineers dress smart here.

Application

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Bangalore) in Mar 2022

Interview

First I received a link from Morgan Stanley for the hackerrank exam. All of the questions were on java and 1 question on DS. Then I received a call from HR that I cleared the test. Next I went through technical interviews, where I got rejected.

Interview Questions
  • They asked questions on Java cocepts like : OOPS, Multithreading, Collections. They will show you code snippet, you have to tell the output and with that you will have to discuss the above topic in depth with interviewer. They will usually ask edge cases. Ex: What if we implement 2 interfaces having same name and same signature for a default method. How to solve this problem. Ex2: Why we can create constructor in abstract class but we cannot initialize it. Why java introduced this? Ex:3 What if we override equals method and hashcode method. What if we are returning same value from hashcode method and always returning false from equals method. Ex: 4 If in a class having two different methods with two synchronized blocks and two threads are accessing different methods, What will happen? who will wait?
  • One Question on Arrays: Given 2 arrays, find common numbers in them and return in form of arrayList
  • SQL : Given City and School table, print cities and count of school in those cities where count is more than 10
