Morgan Stanley visited VJTI, Mumbai for On-Campus FTE hiring in July 2020

This was my Interview Experience

1. ONLINE TEST (AMCAT) [28 July] [2 hrs]

• *Section 1 *Aptitude (20 questions)
• I was able to solve around 12 – 13 Aptitude questions.
• Section 2 Debugging (7 questions)
• I solved 5 debugging questions and my internet went off so wasn’t able to attempt the last 2.
• Section 3 Coding questions (3 questions)
• I solved all 3 coding questions within 45 mins.
• *Question 1 *In a nutshell the question was to find the fourth point of the parallelogram given the other 3 points and given which points form a diagonal.
• *Question 2 *The question was to find max heights for all the nodes, considering them root, constraints were nodes < 1000, So here a simple brute force suffice.
• *Question 3 *Given a list of strings group them by the set of chars that appears in them and sort the groups lexicographically and print each group on separate lines.
• I was shortlisted for next round

2. TECHNICAL ROUND ONE (ZOOM) [31 July] [1 hr]

• This round was majorly focused on DSA, some C++ and OOPs questions were also asked
• *Question 1 *Explain virtual functions and virtual table in C++
• *Question 2 *Explain the Diamond Problem in C++ and how to solve it.
• *Follow Up *Does Java have a similar problem?
• *Question 3 *Difference between References and Pointers and when to use which one.
• *Question 4 *This was the Coding question, and I was also asked to code the same live in front of the Interviewer.
• How can technology help in CoVid 19?
• So I proposed a solution using people’s contact graph, with the help of which we can find out the list of people that came in contact with the given person within the last x days.
• I shared my screen and coded the solution on Notepad.
• I was selected for the next technical round.

3. TECHNICAL ROUND TWO (ZOOM) [31 July] [1.5 hrs]

• This round was focused on Low-Level design question, 2 DSA questions were also asked
• *Question 1 *Given a row-wise sorted binary matrix, find the row with maximum rows
• I gave three solutions: brute O(n * m), binary search O(n * log m), and efficient O(n + m).
• *Question 2 *How to improve search time for in the linked list
• I gave a couple of solutions that change the structure of the linked list.
• One of the solutions was to have links at sqrt(n) distance to reduce the complexity to sqrt(n).
• *Question 3 *Design chess game program
• This was the Low-level design question
• I started with requirement gathering
• I was also asked to list entities, write classes for them, and write the abstractions for the functionalities of the class.
• The discussion for this question went on for more than 1 hour.
• I was selected for the final HR round.

4. HR ROUND (ZOOM) [31 July]

• This was a standard HR Round
• No coding questions were asked
• I did not take an offer from Morgan Stanley because I also received PPO from Microsoft that day and I opted for Microsoft.

All the best for your Interviews.
