I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley in Jan 2010
Interview
My interview consisted of three one on one interviews and two phone interviews. Except for one interview which appeared to be a stress interview, all of the other interviews were formal interviews without any out of the ordinary questions.
All of the folks I interviewed with were very polite (except for the stress interview) and took the time to answer my questions.
But even after all my interviews were completed, it still took several weeks before I was given an offer. The whole requisition process to hire a new employee is a long and tedious process for even the hiring manager. So if you feel frustrated that you don't yet have an answer, it may be because the hiring manager also is awaiting final approval from HR. And I have seen many times, where a req is opened and folks are interviewed, and all of a sudden there is a hiring freeze.
First round with the managing director was more conversational – explaining who you are, why you're a great fit for the role, and why you want it. Overall pretty easy, still in the interview process.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Tampa, FL) in June 2024
Interview
Applied online. Recruiter reached out via email to schedule a screen. After succesful screen I was scheduled by someone else to have an interview with 2 people via Zoom. The interview went well. I followed up with the recruiter who emailed me that the process is still going. Then was ghosted afterwards. Very dissapointed in the follow-through as I deemed this company as valuable and professional.
