I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Glasgow, Scotland) in Jan 2017
Interview
Morgan Stanley had the best interview process I've experienced. The period of time between submitting my application and getting my offer was no longer than 6 weeks. Great feedback was given at every stage, with guidelines on when I'd hear back always adhered to. The assessment centre was really enjoyable, due in part to the strength based interviews but also due to the hands on nature of the group activity.
