I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Hong Kong) in Jul 2024
Interview
Overall good experience and professional questions asked. However I think I wasn’t given enough time for some of the more complicated questions. HireVue format also a bit annoying, but the questions make you feel like the company cares for your growth.
