The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Baltimore, MD) in Nov 2011
Interview
I landed the interview by getting a credible reference within the company to send me a referral email via the MS hiring website. About 3 weeks later I got an email from HR saying they wanted to phone interview me.
The phone interview was pretty cookie cutter. They asked all the basic, what are your qualifications and why do you want to work here questions...a lot of which are even posted on their website. I thought it went pretty well but I got an email about another 2-3 weeks later saying I wasn't selected.
Difficult 40-50 questions asked in half an hour in technical round
10-15 questions asked in hr round
Aptitude in the beginning which was moderate
Overall it was good experience at Morgan Stanley

I applied online. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Hong Kong) in Jan 2021
Interview
The senior team leader interviewed me. They are very nice but feels not really interviewed a lot of people. They did not ask me a lot of things from my CV. I did self introduction and answered some questions related career goal. Then they walked me through the role and responsibility. No technical question is asked.
