Process

After applying, you have to clear the HackerRank test, which is fairly simple. It consists of some basic Java MCQs and two programming questions.

After that, I had my first telephonic round, which was purely focused on core Java.

Following that, I had a Zoom meeting, which was a disaster. The interviewer was rude and obnoxious. He didn't even want to repeat questions and had an attitude more like a viva teacher who expects answers to match what's on his sheet.

Morgan Stanley is huge. I was hoping they would have more people-friendly managers, at least.
