I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley in Jun 2009
Interview
Phone interview, standard questions consisting of the typical "tell me about yourself", "where do you see yourself in 5 years", "what about finance interests you", etc. Pleasant convo, quite informal.
The had actually forgot that it was the first day for interns when I arrived to start, no formal training sessions, did not have a chance to meet the other interns until the end of the summer, poor communication between interns and management. Very nice co-workers, even though we were doing menial tasks they expressed gratitude and understanding. Towards the end of summer I was finally given some tasks where I could learn. Overall it was a fairly positive experience, but it is what you make of it.
The OA was quite difficult involving aptitude, debugging and programming qns. The aptitude was most time consuming and where mostly pictorial and needed much time to solve. Debugging is better and included easier qns.

I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley
Interview
Straightforward, more focus on fit and eagerness than market knowledge. Everyone was kind, interviews were short but I talked to people in various teams. Multiple stages online then I eventually received an offer in person.
