I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Baltimore, MD) in Jun 2012
Interview
I landed an interview through a referral within the company. After applying through a referral link I was contacted via email a couple days later asking me to come in for 3 1:1 interviews. I was actually pretty optimistic because they did not even ask me to do a preliminary phone interview. The office seemed to be staffed with a lot of young friendly professionals and had a positive atmosphere.
The interview itself was very laid back and informal which was surprising considering how large and corporate MS is. I left feeling pretty good about it the whole thing however, after 3 weeks of follow up calls and emails I learned that that I was not awarded an offer.
In hindsight though I am not surprised because there seems to be a large disconnect between HR, staff and the "hiring department'.

I applied online. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Hong Kong) in Jan 2021
Interview
The senior team leader interviewed me. They are very nice but feels not really interviewed a lot of people. They did not ask me a lot of things from my CV. I did self introduction and answered some questions related career goal. Then they walked me through the role and responsibility. No technical question is asked.
