I applied online. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (London, England) in Oct 2016
Interview
First had what was supposed to be 30 min phone interview but turned out being 45 mins. Mainly asked a lot about DCFs and other valuation methods. Then was invited to two half hour interviews with associate and MD in London offices. More of the same, was reasonably technical.
Superday. talked with 3 interviewers. People were nice, mostly behavorial. Only 1 interviewer asked me technical questions (generic IBD related such as accretion and dilution). Also a market sizing question which I think it's weird
Tough and nervous, but interviewers are professional. Asked many difficult questions. I answered some of them, but some cannot answered fully. There are two interviewers, a hr and a hiring manager.
Got a phone call, wasn't given much of a chance don't think. Interviewer didn't seem too interested really and was in a rush to not ask questions. Was a quick phone call and didn't really ask any other behaviorals.
