First Round:(Coding Round)-45 Minutes Second Round: Group Activity As MORGAN STANLEY’s legacy, gave some.picutres and said to come up with an idea and you want to impress your investors with your idea so they will invest in your project idea. Advice : Don’t suppress anyone try to give new idea and actively participate. Third Round(F2F): 1 Hour It was pure technical round. Started with project discussion and he provided me some sort of condition and asked me to resolve using my previous company projects. Fourth Round(F2F): Design Pattern Round+ Technical Round 1h 30 minutes He asked my brief introduction and then he discussed about the projects. Then he asked me question based on stability and scalability . Some questions based on load balancer, cache layer and databases. Fifth Round: Behavioral Round 30Minutes Interview was very friendly. He asked my interest, my achievement, which project do you think is the most difficult one and how will you tackle that. How much you know about Finance.

I had four technical rounds and one hr round. First round: Interviewed with manager of the team, discussed current projects, a bit of Java questions and general CV questions. Second round: General Java questions and implemented a coding algo question. Third round: Implemented two Java algo questions, both are not too difficult. Fourth round: Interviewed with Global head of team, discussed aspirations for the role, a bit on financial knowledge and CI/CD. HR round: Aspirations for the role, general CV question and Salary expectation. About a week later received a call from HR for the offer, but they can’t meet my expectation and asked if I have flexibility to adjust. I clearly deliver my expectation before the interview so I said no. After several rounds of negotiations, they no only didn’t meet my expectation, but also didn’t offer any increment to me. They said I am already paid fairly even though I revealed another offer that paid a lot more than my current salary a few months back. I am quite disappointed because I devoted a lot of time into the process. I also clearly delivered my expectation before any interviews. It is a waste of everyone’s time to even begin the process where in the end they can’t meet my expectation.
