Interviewed Sep 2011 in Moscow (Russia) (took a day)
job: part-time worker in finance dep., mainly to deal with Excel. Had 2 separate 1:1 interviews, first with the finance department employee, second with a hr recruiter. the first one was quite logical, with questions about 'my story' and 'assets vs. liabilities', 'credit vs. debit'.
the second one was too abstract, it semt like the recruiter was a bit strange, asked seemingly not-coherent questions.
they promised to call back in 3 days, failed to do that, i only managed to reach them 5 or 6 days after the interiew and they informed about their denial.

Interviewed Jul 2011 in Pikesville, MD (took a day)
I went there. I presented myself. They asked me to describe my resume. They liked me, however they considered that I am to young to be able to make myself vizible in the field. I believe I failed the personality test that I had to take afterwards.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in New York, NY (took 2 months)
I saw a job posted on the Morgan Stanley careers site and submitted my application. A few days later, HR reached out to schedule an in-person interview.
The first interview I met with two people at my same level. We talked about my background and experience, and they provided their insight into the company. They were fairly junior, so were not terribly proficient in interviewing.
I then heard nothing for about a month until they emailed again to schedule the second interview later that week. That one was with the hiring manger. We spoke more about the role, the department, but also the financial services industry as a whole. Was more of a conversation than straight up interview.

Interviewed May 2011 in Baltimore, MD (took 4 months)
I interviewed for the Operations Analyst position in December of last year. The interview was relatively easy. It consisted of an on-campus interview on-site and another 2 1:1 interviews before they split us up into a team to work with legos. The puropose of the exercise was to see how we would as a team. They tell you to remember where everythnig goes and you only have about thirty seconds to rememberize where all the lego peices go. The trick is to come up with a plan to build your own model and your own idea. Esentially they want creativity and teamwork. Morgan Stanley is a great company although they are beginnig a series of upcoming layoffs, but the feedback between HR takes way too much time. I have heard this from a number of other people. Most people take other offers by the time the process concludes because the delay is too long.

Interviewed Feb 2009 (took 3 weeks)
Full-day interview with MDs, executive directors and HR. In addition to "fit" and "industry" questions, they provided a lot of time for me to ask questions. It seems like I was also being judged by what questions I asked and how I asked them.
