I applied through college or university. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (New York, NY) in Jan 2016
Interview
was a relatively straight forward interview, want to know who's generally smart and who can learn the work. wasnt terribly difficult. i would say 3/10 for hardness. There are 6 person interviews in New York City, and there will be 15 minute quick speed rounds. Don't worry, stay calm. and you got it.
2 rounds of interview one with the lead and other with the VP. it focuses more on your skills and experience in your current role where in you are asked regarding logical situations.
