Morgan Stanley Software Engineer interview: difficult introductory questions

My first introductory round was rough from the beginning. The questions felt difficult right away. What unsettled me was the interviewers' response: my answers did not satisfy them, and it seemed as though they wanted very specific responses instead of exploring my reasoning or allowing the discussion to develop.

I could not make sense of the intent. The questioning felt as if it was constructing something unnecessarily complicated, and I was not sure whether I had misunderstood what they wanted or whether the bar simply required their exact preferred answer.

I did not receive an offer. Overall, the process felt out of sync with how I interpreted the prompts while trying to solve them.

Location: India. Overall feedback: negative. Offer status: no offer.
