Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied online through their website and received an email a few weeks later to provide availability for an initial phone call with an engineer.

The 30-minute phone call was entirely technical. No laptop or internet connection was needed, but be ready to answer in-depth technical questions and discuss algorithms for a program.

After a successful phone call, I was invited for an onsite interview at the New York location.

There were 5 rounds of technical interviews with different team members and the hiring manager. The questions were not extremely difficult, and the interviewers were good too.

After finishing the 5 rounds of interviews, I felt I did well and had a chance to talk with a director. Everything went well, but then I did not hear back from them. I followed up 3 times but received no response from anyone at Morgan Stanley.
