Interview Preparation Tips
Experience: The paper was lengthy and difficulty level at par with CAT. They shortlisted 50 people after test.
Tips: Be quick - don't spend too much time on a single question and I think they had sectional cutoff too. Full CAT preparation is sufficient for test.
Duration: 1-2 hrs minute
Round: HR Interview
Experience: This interview was totally based upon resume. He started with usual HR question "Tell me about yourself" and then he asked me to tell about my projects and internships. Some of my projects were based upon data analytic so I was able to relate with job description. And finally he asked which all coding languages I know and if I have used them in any projects or internship
Tips: Be thorough with your resume and show them you are interested in finance sector and will to learn new things
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: This interview consisted of puzzle, algorithms and a small case interview.
Q. How would you sort an array of 100 numbers?
Q. Explain merge sort algorithm?
Q. How would you find top 10 elements of an unsorted array? My algorithm was not time efficient so he asked me is there any other method I know which can reduce time complexity. I told him it can be done of Heap and stacks but I don't remember.
Q. Explain heap and stack?
Q. 2 eggs and 100 storey building puzzle?
Q. How would your answer change if you had infinite number of eggs?
Q. If you were to bring some improvement in your campus what would you do? followed by some cross questions and discussion about pros and cons of my suggestions.
Tips: Be calm and relaxed. If you don't know something try to convince them you have done that before but don't remember it know.
Round: Stress Interview
Experience: I was asked to tell about my core engineering projects and internships followed by grilling cross question. Then he asked when you have done so many projects and internship in core then why do you want to join MSCI. The better you answer first question the more convincing answer (especially if you have CG above 8.5) you have to give for 2nd question. I gave him few reasons and then told him that I follow news about current happenings in finance sector. Then he asked me about European crises and had a discussion with him for 5 minutes.
Tips: Don't panic. If you have done CFA, FRM or NCFM then it would be an added advantage but they are not required. Start visiting Economic times, Bloomberg or similar website 6-8 months before placement. It would be helpful for all finance companies.
General Tips: Start your resume preparation early.
If you wrote test of any company and have even a minute chance of getting shortlisted for interview then start preparation for that company early (companies usually put their shortlist 1-2 days before interview).
Have 3-4 mock interviews.
Skill Tips: Start your preparation for aptitude early and if possible join any cat coaching test series. If you are interested in Finance sector be thorough with probability.
Skills: Data Interpretation, Logical Reasoning, Verbal Ability, Quantitative Aptitude
