I applied online. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (New York, NY) in Sep 2019
Interview
I got interviews for all 3 departments that I applied for - each department had a bit of a different interview process. I got an automatic Hirevue for each position right after I applied. For one position, I went straight to a superday without a first round interview which I was super confused about, but for the other two positions, I had a first round phone/video interview. I got invited to a superday for one of those positions, but since the position was in CA and I was unable to fly over for the superday due to a midterm on the same day, I was able to attend a virtual one. I had interviewed with several BBs and I thought that the people I talked to at MS were the least friendly, However, I recognize that a few people are not representative of the whole firm - this is just how my experience went last year!

Question 1
Some personal, some technical questions; make sure you understand key terms and concepts for each department you are interviewing for
The interview process was a great experience overall. I enjoyed the conversation and felt it was a strong opportunity to connect my background to the work Morgan Stanley does. There was a HireVue than one one one.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself and how you're a good match.
After submitting the application, they provide the online assessment link to all the people, I guess. After taking the assessment, the applicants who are moving on to the next step will have a Zoom interview with HR and a superday (final), respectively.

Question 1
Mostly about fit questions. Not a single technical question was asked.
Well organised, informational, and transparent process. After test there was a hirevue, then a telephone interview and then the superday, all of which was completed in about one month. I appreciated their speed and for not dragging out the process.
