I applied through an employee referral. The process took 11 months. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (New York, NY) in Apr 2016
Interview
I got the initial interview from applying online. I did a logical reasoning and video assessment. The logical reasonings practice questions were available online, you should spend some time get familiar with the type of questions. I had a phone screening interview. The HR asked me about my qualifications and went through my resume with me. I then interviewed with their complex manager in the NY headquarter. The interview was very conversational. No hard questions. After couple week, I scheduled another interview with their MD. He was very straightforward about his expectations for the incoming associate. He said I need to interview with his again in the upcoming week.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What's your goal for the first year? How much AUM do you plan to bring to MSWM.
I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Philadelphia, PA)
Interview
The overall interview process is not extremely difficult. Meeting with the a manager and maybe another senior advisor whom is involved with the hiring process. Detailed business plan to prepare. More on showing them how you can succeed at the job. It would probably be two to three interviews before actual consideration.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley in Mar 2024
Interview
Starts off with a 30 min aptitude test followed by a 1-2 hour simulation of being an advisor in LA. This is followed by a 30 min hireview and 3 more tests if selected to move forward. At the end of the hireview you receive an email saying someone will be in touch and nobody contacted me. Had to check my status of the application through the applicant portal to find out I was no longer under consideration. Nothing out of the ordinary in the process except for the fact that I didn't get to speak to a single person throughout it and that is not very professional in my opinion.

Question 1
mental math aptitude, picture matching, personality tests
Inept as inept can be. Couldn’t describe the job responsibilities effectively. It felt scummy the whole entire process. I would avoid at all costs. Heard bad things about this place.
