Interviewed Jan 2012 in New York, NY (took 5+ weeks)
The first round interview was held on campus and consisted of a 1:1 30 mintute interview. It started out with me walking the recruiter through my resume. He then asked some behavioral questions such as, "tell me about a situation where you found yourself working in a group that was heading in the wrong direction, how it was changed, and what you got out of it." He also asked which group within finance I would like to work for if I had the choice. I got a second round interview out of it, which I have yet to complete, which is at their office in NY.

Mostly questions on my cv and background. There were questions related to advanced classes I have taken from a quant and business perspective. General questions on stochastic processes, optimization, and financial analytics. More specific questions are probably expected in on-site interviews.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in New York, NY (took 5 days)
A recruiter assisted me in locating this position. A person from Morgan Stanley's HR dept contacted me and scheduled the interviews. The phone interview was quick and to the point and led to a 1:4 interview in New York a few days later. All 4 of the people I interviewed with seemed personable and knowledgeable of their responsibilities and didn't fumble around in the interview process. I thought the experience to be very good and was eager to take on the role. The position was very similar to what I was doing in my previous role with another financial institution so I thought my chances were very good at landing the position. I believed I answered all their questions very well however since I was not in their shoes, only they would know. I was advised at the end of the 2 hour interview that they would contact me the following week for a second interview.
In the days after the interview, the HR person that scheduled the interviews also requested me to complete forms and even asked for my SSN for background checks, which I thought was odd considering how I had only had a phone and one face-to-face interview (granted it was with multiple people). I presumed that they were really interested. That following week I followed up with the person in HR because I had not heard anything from the hiring managers. I later received an automated response from Morgan Stanley indicating the position had been filled or closed. I was not 100% sure of what to make of it because of the experience in the interview process but at face value I presume I was not selected to continue. I thought I had solid experience to land this position but I suppose there was someone else more qualified. Hard time to be unemployed.

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.
