I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (New York, NY) in Feb 2012
Interview
Applied through employee referral for Summer Analyst in Sales and Trading. Had first interview over the phone - lasted about 30 minutes. Asked me why I was interested in Sales and Trading / what qualities do I think a person in sales should have & in what ways have I proven to have such qualities.
Then had super day - consisted of 4 one-on-one interviews, all friendly people who were engaging and interesting to talk to. Very positive experience.

Question 1
If you had to choose one specific job to have in finance, what would it be and why?
The interview process was a great experience overall. I enjoyed the conversation and felt it was a strong opportunity to connect my background to the work Morgan Stanley does. There was a HireVue than one one one.

Tell me about yourself and how you're a good match.
After submitting the application, they provide the online assessment link to all the people, I guess. After taking the assessment, the applicants who are moving on to the next step will have a Zoom interview with HR and a superday (final), respectively.

Question 1
Mostly about fit questions. Not a single technical question was asked.
Well organised, informational, and transparent process. After test there was a hirevue, then a telephone interview and then the superday, all of which was completed in about one month. I appreciated their speed and for not dragging out the process.
