      Junior Software Developer Interview

      Jan 30, 2026
      Anonymous employee
      Montreal, QC
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Montreal, QC) in Sep 2025

      Interview

      Three Rounds: Recruiter call > in-person technical and behavioural round > final round (technical + behavioural, again). Since this role was for juniors, 50% was deep diving on resume and your tech stack in your past internships and/or projects; the other 50% were on technicals and behaiorals, which were much simpler than expected. The technicals were LeetCode easy/medium, based on two-pointers and linked lists, and consecutive questions on simple data structures (lists, sets, maps) and their time complexity. Also, depending on what role you're applying to specifically, know that language's concepts. For example, if you're applying for a Java role, definitely know the tradeoffs of using Java vs C++/Python, Garbage collection, OOP, Collections interfaces, errors, file handling, etc . The behavioural were 2 STAR method questions (ex: tell me about a time you had a conflict with your team and how you resolved the issue). Definitely not the hardest interview I've done. Really focus on past experience + simple DSA + OOP, and you'll be fine.

      Interview questions [3]

      Question 1

      Implement (psedo code) a hashmap and what are the time complexities for the opeartions
      Answer question

      Question 2

      SQL indexing (i had this on my resume, so they dove into it)
      Answer question

      Question 3

      OOP principles (hint: be really thorough and descriptive. Dont just say by name. Explain how each one is achieved in your chosen language (I used Java here, so for example, when talking about polymorphism, i talked about runtime/compile time poly and how it's achieved in Java))

      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Montreal, QC)

      Interview

      little bit hard and long. I did it as a coop student, they interviewed like 30 students together at the same time all in break out rooms via zoom. Knowing that at the start make you already stressed as you are competing against a lot of students.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      I do not remember exactly what the question was, the coding challenge requires you to know about dictionaries/maps.
