I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Mumbai) in Nov 2011
Interview
One written test in different languages like C, C++, Java. After that four rounds of interviews. Three of them were one to one and one was a group round, where you had to work in a team and then present your product/ideas. The process was well organized and fast. Did not have to wait for long for the next rounds and the results were declared on the same day.
It's a very long process of over 6 rounds of interview. The interviewers come from all parts of the organization. Also, it takes very long time to move from one stage to the other.
I applied online. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Hong Kong)
Interview
Phone interview. HR will email to confirm the interview time with you and then the the whole interview was a phone interview. It was started with brief self introduction and then everything was related to technical questions. I asked how long will the interview process take, and they shared the second round interview will be as soon as next week for selected candidate.
