Interview
I applied for the job on LinkedIn and got a phone call from HR. I had been asked generic questions which you can find here on Glassdoor. Then the next interview was hosted by one principle developer and a manager, both were very friendly and professional. The first half was OOD question by the principal developer and then behavior questions by the manager, then they briefly talked about the company situation. Finally I had 10 minutes ask them questions

Interview
Applied for a fullstack position and after initial orientation round got into a two-hour long techincal interview with three interviewers that joined one after another. About 40 minutes per session: FE, BE, system design. Live coding with screen sharing. Would be nice to have a little break.

Interview
Round 1 comprised aptitude, debugging, and coding sections. Debugging was relatively easy. The aptitude section included pattern recognition, scheduling, and basic quantitative questions. The coding round featured five tough problems that required strong logical thinking and advanced programming skills.

The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Montreal, QC) in Dec 2024
Interview
Extremly long, start applying to other places. I was dragged through three technical assessments (not interviews, exams!), which one of them was in person. The questions are really tricky, they are not trying to test your analytical skills but mostly your memorization of the theoretical part. The analytical interview was amazingly complex but I got through (they asked to build a web app, integrate Redux and api calls) live, in an online editor while sharing my screen. They don't care for you as an individual and that says a lot about their work culture. I really didn't have a good feeling about them at all so I accepted another offer!
