Interviewed Nov 2011 in Baltimore, MD (took 3 weeks)
I landed the interview by getting a credible reference within the company to send me a referral email via the MS hiring website. About 3 weeks later I got an email from HR saying they wanted to phone interview me.
The phone interview was pretty cookie cutter. They asked all the basic, what are your qualifications and why do you want to work here questions...a lot of which are even posted on their website. I thought it went pretty well but I got an email about another 2-3 weeks later saying I wasn't selected.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
Had a phone interview from Strats and Modeling group. It was with Securitized Products Group. Questions consisted of basic bond math, pricing IR swaps, some simple brain teasers (whats the angle between hour and minute hands when the time is 3:15) and basic questions on C++ (singleton, difference between copy constructor and assignment operator etc. Got dinged because I could not answer pricing IR swap question properly I guess.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Baltimore, MD (took 2 days)
Started with an on campus interview with one of the Managers in the operations department. It was a pretty straight forward behavioral interview and also a chance for them to see what you know about the company. The second round interview was held a week or so later in the Baltimore Office. It lasted about 2 1/2 hours and consisted of 2 1:1s and then a group presentation to a panel about a random problem they came up with. Mine was to design a roadway system into and out of a congested city. They basically just want to see how you work in a group. Everyone's friendly though and the interview process goes by fairly quickly.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
It was a academic conference, however, Morgan Stanley was recruiting there. Everyone submitted their resume in the morning, waited for being called in the afternoon based on the competency of their resume. I was called as the last one that day (because I submitted late). Had a one on one technical interview in a conference room. The employer seemed like a senior quant, looked very tired, and had not too much conversation with me. After a very brief self introduction(about twenty seconds), he started to asked me questions. First one was about Brownian motion and reflection theory, the second one was about flipping coins and its probability. I finished the two questions based on his hint. One thing to mention is, the way he solved the problems was really smart.

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Montreal, QC (Canada) (took 3 weeks)
The position is applied through MS's website. As well as my school's job portal. It was a short notice before the 1st round interview (1day ahead). About a week and a half after, they notice the 2nd round interview. You have about 1 week and a half to prepare before the on site interview.
MS are pretty good on traveling cost. They do pay for everything( flight, hotel etc...)
There are one group interview, follow by 4 round individual technical interviews at the same day on site.
