I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Baltimore, MD) in June 2012
Interview
I was referred by a friend who submitted my resume to his team manager. A week later i was contacted by HR for some standard questions. The emailed me a couple days later saying they wanted me to come in for an interview. I had 4 1:1 interviews which each lasted about 30 mins. Pretty easy interview, went over my resume and then asked some simple questions: Why Morgan stanley? Why Finance? Describe a difficult situation? I had the interview on a friday and they contacted me on tuesday letting me know i got the position.
Asking general behavioral questions like self intro, any relevant experience with client, future career plan, etc. It was two round in person interview and nice culture and people. Good experience overall

Was very nice. They show you the building between rounds of interviews. First is a group interview, and then two individual interviews. The people are nice as well, and very friendly.

Simple and straightforward and something you can take with you after. I hdid a lot of prep, and believe it is important to do so even until the morning of. It is also important to know about the firm and be yourself.
