I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley
Interview
I applied online and received a reply the next day asking me to take the online assessments. I completed the assessments and received an email asking to fill out business plan. Got called to come in for an interview about a month later. It was a very professional interview. We acquainted ourselves briefly and jumped right into it. The interview itself took about 45 minutes and ended with me having an opportunity to ask a few questions. I felt it went well especially since they told me I did quite well on the online assessments. I got a call back about a week later informing me that they were going with someone else. Even though I didn't get the job, I understand this is part of the job searching process and felt that the overall experience was extremely professional.
