I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Londres, Inglaterra) in Nov 2017
Interview
Applied online and then was sent a Technical task on Codability, it was very poorly made and even had a mistake in one of the questions.
I then had a phone interview with a technical person, we talked about OOP and my previous experiences.
I was then invited to the assessment centre. This was a 5 hour process, it involved 4 parts: group exercise, 2 technical interviews, and a strengths-based interview.
I did not receive an offer although I expected to receive one as the Assessment centre went really well. I asked for feedback and they provided quite generic useless information.
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley
Interview
First Interview: I applied for Business Analyst and she started asking me coding questions. I kept repeating it is for Business Analyst and I have some programming experience which I don't remeber of. But everytime she asked questions on coding.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe a technical problem you solved? How you solved it?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley
Interview
Was referred by a friend and got an email letting me know I would receive a phone call. A week later I got the phone call.
First Interview
I was asked "Tell me about yourself" to which I gave this spiel about how I was intrigued by the intersections of mathematics and technology. Next I was asked "why Morgan Stanley" to which I responded that I appreciated Morgan Stanley's heavy interest in the tech sector. This was followed by some technical questions such as "how do you tell if a number is the sum of two elements of a list? What if the list was sorted" and "What data structure would you use to calculate the standard deviation" and something along the lines of plotting various y-data values for single x-data values.
A week later I get notified that I made it past the first round. The second round was two weeks later and had more simple questions on HashMaps, questions on BFS & DFS, Dynamic programming, checking if a string contains a substring, reversing a singly-linked list, some simple math problems etc. I answered all of them with one exception on HashMaps and their equals() and hashcode() contract. Know all about hashmaps before applying here.
