Went through interview for Senior Manager role at Morgan Stanley Fund Services Mumbai. Took 3 months to finish. Had 4 interview rounds in total. It was my second time applying for this job. Round 1 was Technical Product Knowledge. Round 2 was with Higher Management, focusing on Product knowledge plus Managerial capabilities. Round 3 was with Global heads, focusing on Client management. Round 4 was VBA/Excel, and I was rejected here. It's strange that HR and the Panel kept asking if I was applying elsewhere or had other offers. I felt I did really well in the first 3 rounds, but the Excel/VBA round solely determined their decision. My feedback is that if the VBA/Excel round is so crucial, it should be done first, not last. Also, the hiring process shouldn't drag on for 3 months, leaving candidates in prolonged uncertainty.
