I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Budapest) in Oct 2016
Interview
After handing in my application on the company's website, I was called right the next day. It was a phone interview which lasted for 15 mins. After the HR manager introduced himself, I was talking to, he asked a few questions about my knowledge that I included in my CV. After then, my English knowledge was reviewed (it's necessary for the job) where the guy asked about my motivation for the job and interest in Data Analysis. Also, I had to present my previous career.. At the end of the interview we scheduled a second phone interview which was a technical one rather than general. Some days later I was called and I was told that I couldn't manage to get into the third round with no specific explanation.
