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 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 Mar 2009 (took a day)
The interview consisted with three individuals and happened in 2007, the executive director, vice president of the group, and line manager. The majority of the interview was with the VP of the group. The conversation with the ED was 5-10 minutes because the ED was very busy, and then another hour or so with the VP, and a quick introduction/ conversation with the line manager.
Negotiation Details
Ask about the range that is budgeted for the role, and push for the top price. When it comes to negotiating one must know their base line, or the lowest number you are willing to accept. Without this tool in our arsenal you can not succeed in a negotiation.
Have positive body language if in person.

I got the interview through a Staffing Agency and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview and a Drug Test.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in New York, NY (took 2 days)
First round was very basic. Asked questions about previous work experiences and why I wanted to work at Morgan Stanly. Second round consisted of a group project and 3 interviews.It was all very basic. If you have solid responses and are a good team member you should get the job. It is not a very complicated interview process. For the group project we played with legos. We had to work together to rebuild a building that they showed us for 30 seconds.
