The process begins with an initial phone screen from HR. Successful candidates then complete a technical assessment testing Excel and financial modeling skills. Next, they interview with the hiring manager, followed by a panel interview with senior team members. A final case study presentation is given to department leadership before an offer is extended.
I applied through university. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (New York, NY) in Jan 2012
Interview
The first round interview was held on campus and consisted of a 1:1 30 mintute interview. It started out with me walking the recruiter through my resume. He then asked some behavioral questions such as, "tell me about a situation where you found yourself working in a group that was heading in the wrong direction, how it was changed, and what you got out of it." He also asked which group within finance I would like to work for if I had the choice. I got a second round interview out of it, which I have yet to complete, which is at their office in NY.
