I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley
Interview
First interview with hiring manager went very well. Second interview with HR wasn't really an interview. More like a 5 min conversation with very basic questions. HR person told me they had very positive feedback from the 1st interview and would like me to come in to meet the team. She emailed me saying they would contact me "shortly" to schedule it and I never heard from them again. I followed up with the HR person and still got no replies. Then followed up with the hiring manager and learned that they were finalizing the process with another candidate. Very disrespectful, especially for such a well-known organization, to treat candidates like that. Wouldn't recommend.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic questions about your background and interests. If I called your manager, what would they tell me about you?
Everyone was professional and nice, at lease looked like they were. I made it through the final interview and received positive feedback from the HR, then got completely ghosted. No offer, no rejection, no response. Radio Silence.
Three rounds. First over the phone with HR. Second round via zoom. Final round in person. Spread out over 3 months. Using AI for scheduling and setting up calendar invites.
First round with sector head then second round with written test including a model test translation and then last round meet apac head, solid stock pitch needed, overall not really difficult
