I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Montreal, QC) in Jan 2024
Interview
2 back to back 45 minute interviews with different managers. First one asked me an odd leetcode like question with the solution only being brute force so it got me as I was trying to optimize it, wouldnt give hints when I asked. Second interviewer was nice but a bit unprofessional, swearing during the interview and whatnot, spent most of it talking about himself, told me "id hire you on the spot but Im not hr so I cant say that yet". Waited 2 weeks then got rejected. He also asked me a non programming technical question.
Participated in their one day event so got fast tracked to the final round. One 30 min interview with two interviewers. Easy leetcode questions, followed by a few behavioral questions
Two-hour interview split into one-hour sessions with different team members. Each session included behavioral questions about past experiences and teamwork. Both interviewers presented a LeetCode-style coding problem ranging from easy to medium difficulty.
