I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at MSCI in Jan 2024
Interview
There are two rounds. First round was with AVP which included resume based questions and coding questions. Mostly questions were on nlp and even the coding question was on text processing. Second round was with VP and ED. They took interview for one hour. This round was difficult and exhausting. basic ml dl questions were asked. basic python theory questions were asked. I got rejected in this round.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at MSCI
Interview
The interview process was fairly straight forward
1. HR call
2. 60 min hacker rank
3. Technical Interview with mostly scenario-like questions
4. Team fit interview with some technical-ish questions
5. Offer
The interviews themselves went great; it was actually really pleasant experience, kudos to the team.
The offer process however should be improved:
- I was informed by HR only after the 4th round that it's a 1-year contract, I think it should have been the most important information and should have been included either in the job description or during the 1st round of talks.
- Salary. HR ask you in your 1st round what your range is. You tell them X to Z. Then the offer comes back X - 10% with no negotiation opportunity at all, take it or leave it.
