The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (New York, NY) in Jan 2019
Interview
Phone screening, in person interview, verbal offer. Then a month following the verbal offer (and only at my follow up) the job is put on hold.
They should not be making a verbal offer before the role is approved.
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Budapest) in Jul 2025
Interview
Online interview, time-box framed, typical American style, interviewers were correct, not stressful environment, overall positive but disappointing that after not being selected to the next round no feedback was given at all
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Budapest) in May 2025
Interview
There were four rounds of interview:
1. Just a screening which went quite smoothly
2. With a product manager which went quite well as well. It was quite detailed and I think I answered maybe 70-80% of the questions
3. With the director of product I think which was in the US. It was very intense and quite detailed. He kept asking questions like a rapid-fire round.
4. I didn't hear back anything after that. I even followed up with a chart multiple times but I did not hear back.

I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley in Apr 2024
Interview
I interviewed with Parametric/ Morgan Stanley in April 2023 [Seattle, WA].
Interview Process:
The process began with a recruiter screening call, followed by a 30-minute interview with the hiring manager and an on-site panel interview. Additionally, I was asked to complete a short assessment with questions on project management.
Experience:
The interviewers were knowledgeable and passionate about their work. However, the communication throughout the process was poor and inconsistent. Despite my proactive follow-up, it took more than a month to be informed that I was not selected after the on-site interview.
Interestingly, the same role was reposted under a different job ID, and I was invited to interview again. I informed the talent acquisition team that I had already interviewed for the position, but they confirmed that the team was open to interviewing me again. Oddly, within the first few minutes of the call with the recruiter, I was told that the hiring team did not want to interview me again.
While rejections are a normal part of the job search process, this experience felt particularly unprofessional and disappointing in terms of candidate treatment.
