Morgan Stanley Software Engineer interview experience

Got offer

Easy

Neutral

United StatesPosted Aug 2025 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

I basically jumped straight into a power day without any earlier phone screening.

The whole process felt “meh” to me right away—the flow was wonky, and there were moments where the conversation just went quiet because the interviewers didn’t seem sure what to ask.

The questions that came up were mostly softball, with very little real technical content. At times it felt more like an interview that was going through motions than a serious evaluation of engineering problem-solving.

By the end, I didn’t feel like I had a fair shot to demonstrate technical ability. I didn’t get an offer, and honestly the experience left me thinking the format and question quality didn’t match
