I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2012
Interview
Met with four managers and finally a senior manager, all of whom were very professional and approachable. They each conducted approximately a 10 to 15 minute interview individually and concluded by letting me ask questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Name a situation in the past where you had to deal with an obstacle at work and how did you overcome it.
1st round of interview was on a zoom audio call. Basically a 'walk me through your resume'. Be prepared to have a compelling story and know your talking points. Do not just go through your resume line by line.

I applied online. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (New York, NY)
Interview
The interview was straight forward if you have some sort of financial experience and can answer technical questions. Additionally, would highly recommend you brush on your three statement modeling skills.
Wasn't too difficult, just talked about my background, my school, and why I wanted the position. Definitely just know your resume and be prepared to expand upon it, especially if you have prior sales experience.
