Morgan Stanley Vice President - Technology interview questions

Not a pleasant experience because they lack professionalism. Overall I had 8 rounds (including HR round) before they decided to not take my application forward. I had 3 technical rounds on the first day overlapping with lunch hours and they had not accounted for it. Next day, I was given a feedback that they wanted someone more technical and they don't want to take my application forward. I was fine with it but I got a call again within 1 week later stating they were considering my profile for a techno functional role. I clearly told them I wasn't looking for a technical architect kind of role and they ensured it was a techno functional profile. In the next 2 rounds I was asked questions on agile and people management. On the third day they set up 3 rounds - Round 1 with executive director, round 2 with managing director and round 3 with HR. The interview with ED was at 12:30 followed by MD interview at 1:30 and HR round at 2. HR called me at 12:30 to inform that the ED would be delayed and he would be available only at 2 for the round so they had requested the MD to talk to me at 1. I was waiting for the MD round and when I did not get the call I called up HR. I was then told that MD is not available before 1:30. At 1:30 the MD called me and chatted for 30 mins which went fairly well. ED came at 2 and asked a few technical and Scrum/ Agile implementation questions. I was able to answer most of them. I then had my HR round at 3 and was done by 3:30 after which I had my lunch. I did not hear from HR for a couple of days and then I got a mail stating they decided to not take my application forward. Regardless of the offer, I would have appreciated the entire experience if 1. They had slotted my lunch time in the schedule considering their interviews don't start before 12 2. Their interviewers had respected my time 3. They had provided concrete reasons for why they decided to not take my application forward Interview experience matters a lot and I really hope they take care of it. I would not recommend anyone to go beyond 3 rounds if they see this pattern.

The interview process was like below: 2 telephonic technical rounds (1 hr each) 3 F2F technical rounds (avg 1hr each) 1 HR round 2 so called fitment rounds I was interviewed at Morgan Stanley, Mumbai office for a position which was based out of their bangalore office. Initially the recruiter told they would reimburse the travel to Mumbai office, later said they won't. So I travelled on my own. By the end of the day, the HR team informed that I have made it and asked me to submit my salary slips and present companies offer letter and latest revision letter. After two days the HR person got in touch again and informed that two fitment rounds have to be done and that it would be just a formality. The two fitment rounds held from NY, turned out to be full fledged technical rounds in themselves. After that their was a lull of a week. I called the HR team, but they picked up my call. I mailed them, no reply either. I had to finally get in touch with my recruiter and got to hear the worst explanation of my life, that I did not meet their eligibility criteria. WTF !! seriouslly?? How can a firm tell me this after assurances from the HR team and after seven rounds of interview? Seriously a miser firm which probably wanted a rocket scientist at the pay scale of a barber. I won't attend any interview with this firm ever. Pissed out to the core of my heart.
