I applied online. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Tokio) in Nov 2020
Interview
One hour interview with coding test and system design. Coding test is done live with interviewer. System Design is a QA session where interviewer gives a scenario and you think of possibilities.
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley in Jan 2021
Interview
The 3-stages interview process has finalized with a comprehensive background investigation, from which one part you find beneath :
* credit worthiness
* credit standing
* credit capacity
* character
* general reputation
* personal characteristics
* and mode of living
which will be used to establish your eligibility for employment.
Do not waste your time with them. Do you agree they go too far? Do not allow these type of data to collect and store about you. They hire and contract 3rd and 4th party agencies to gather and aggregate this set of information on you. Circumvented Personal Data Protection is assured. You will never know where it is gonna be stored and will loose all control how handled further down the road on your career. forevermore. My advise to all candidates: refuse all these types of requests!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Would you give permission to us to run a background check on your profile ?
There were many people involved, including two coordinators, one internal recruiter, two external recruiters, one from Human Resources, one Project Manager, and four technical interviewers. There was lots of confusion with the interview timing and Zoom links and passwords.
