I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley
Interview
Interview consisted of 4 rounds.I have cleared first round and post that I have gotten an email stating further 3 rounds are scheduled .After my 2nd round I was waiting for 3rd round to happen which did not and there was not any communication about that also. I have emailed HR but there was no response.Finally after a day I got an automated email stating not selected. Ideally if the rounds are like elimination they should be informed first instead of scheduling all and blocking our time and without giving proper updates.This is pathetic

Interview
3 total rounds
1. 30m phone screen where I was asked about my experience and some basic Java-related questions.
2. 1h technical interview where I was asked more Java-related questions and had to implement a sorting algorithm by hand.
3. Final 4h interview where multiple interviewers that spanned system architecture, coding/algorithms, and behavioural questions.
After all that process, the recruiter never bothered to get back to me. I followed-up after a week and was informed that they're still making final decisions. No answer after that.
