I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Las Vegas, NV) in Jan 2011
Interview
I received an email from the firm indicating they had found my resume on the University's career services website. The actual scheduling of the interview took 2 weeks. When an interview was finally scheduled, I requested a copy of the job description, as I was not able to find one on the internet. Upon receipt of the job description I was very disappointed. The job is an admin clerk. I have 20 years of experience in finance and accounting. I am extremely overqualified for this position. I went to the interview with the hopes that perhaps there was some mistake. When I arrived the interviewer was unprepared. I respectfully declined an opportunity to be considered for this position.
Simple, they were very welcoming and straightforward. I felt comfortable when I got there, but I could tell they wanted someone with more experience than me. It only lasted 30 minutes and they only really wanted to hear me talk about my experiences and asked one behavioral question.

Describe a time you had a disagreement with a team member.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Palo Alto, CA) in Dec 2025
Interview
Very straightforward. Told me more about the role. Was looking for someone to start in January, but I don't graduate until June. Said she'd pass my resume along nonetheless (don't think anything will come of it considering they are looking for someone to start ASAP).

Question 1
What are your greatest strengths? Why are you interested in this position?
Little to no situational questions asked. Very casual interview. Went over past experience and jobs listed on my resume. Phone screening, in-person with manager, and a second in-person with branch leader and manager.
