I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley
Interview
I applied for the role online and did intensive research on the company and the role. Immediately after submitting the application, there was a psychometric test invitation lying in my inbox. I had practised many mock tests (verbal & numerical) for 3 days and after that I sat for the test. There turned out to be a numerical reasoning test, a verbal reasoning test, and a test called 'numerical checking'. Numerical checking was timed and it simply tests your ability to react fast and to spot differences fast; unlike verbal and numerical, 'numerical checking' score cannot be improved in merely 3 days so start trying to be attentive to details and to react fast from now on. I think I have cleared the online tests so one and a half month later, I received an email from the HR rep and he wanted to set up a telephone interview with me. The interview was very short. People say this means that you did not do well and the interviewer was not interested in you. So it turned out that they were correct. I did not clear this round of interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
During the telephone interview, the following questions were asked. 'What do you know about Morgan Stanely?' 'Tell me about your understandings of Operations.' 'Why did you choose this city to apply?' 'What do you know about this city?' I did not know anything about the city I had applied for and the HR rep was not satisfied at all. No technical questions in the sense of your knowledge of the security industry.
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
I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Glasgow, Scotland)
Interview
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.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (New York, NY) in Feb 2026
Interview
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.
