I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley in Dec 2012
Interview
Applied online through MS' website with the usual (resume, cover letter, etc). Then got an email informing me about 2 first-round interviews. First was with an analyst - introduced myself, had some personality questions and rest of the interview (around half) was about technical questions. Second interview was with a VP - mostly the same, with slightly more technical questions though not awfully challenging. Both interviewers were really nice. Didn't get through to the next round, probably due to class standing.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How are the three financial statements related? Explain carefully
It was a standard procedure. The process involved psychometric tests, and hire vue, then assestment centre. Didn't pass the hire vue stage. There's nothing else I can add about the interview process.

Question 1
Tell me about yourself, tell me about a time you had to handle stress, what is your biggest achievement?
First was a hirevue. That is typical behaviors. After that, you will move onto a 20 or 30 minute phone screen. A couple technicals and just running through your resume. Lastly, you will have the superday.
