Senior C++ Developer Interview Experience - Bengaluru, India
Process
Three technical rounds and an HR round were supposed to happen on the same day. I only completed two technical rounds and was asked to wait until EOD for further updates.
Despite calling HR multiple times, there has been no feedback.
Interviewers were late for Zoom calls and I had to wait for an hour for them to join the meeting. The process was poorly organized.
Questions
Round 1: C++ concepts - polymorphism, virtual tables, abstraction, etc. Implement template Singleton class. Clone Binary tree with random pointers.
Round 2: This guy was fixated on the fact that I did not know Python/Java (although the interview was for a C++ developer role).
- Boundary traversal of BT.
- Implement the "settle balances functionality" of the Splitwise app.

Morgan Stanley Work Experiences
- 3.0Not so good as it looksManager - Software Developer • Current EmployeeBengaluru, Karnataka, IndiaMarch 27, 2023Pros: Good brand name in the market. Experience a good diversity at MS. Teams are a mix and match of all employees from different countries. Supportive people across the globe.Cons: Does not give appraisal. You may get good compensation while joining but no or very little salary hike. Investment restriction. Does not allow you to trade. They will ask to close all accounts and trade only with company-listed brokers with only company-approved entities. Policies are not good. Call employees to WFO even if the entire team sits outside India and make it compulsory. Uses old legacy code, and a software developer who wants to learn and grow in tech would lag behind as there is not much development work. They have support and QA testing in all teams.
