I applied online. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (New York, NY)

Interview

Involved a video call on HireVue that asked questions about behavior. It asked me fairly standard behavioral questions, but the app itself was glitchy, often refusing to record my mic or camera. Overall, I'm neutral towards that experience.

Morgan Stanley

Hello! My name is Mark Gervis and I am a rising junior at Baruch College majoring in Finance and minoring in Spanish. A little bit about me, I currently work at Morgan Stanley as an Accounting Assistant and I am also an incoming Engagement Manager at my school's consulting club, Consult Your Community (CYC). I see that Accenture is currently accepting applications for its 2024 Summer Analyst Program and I was just wondering if it would be possible for someone to refer me? Thank you so much!

Greater workplace equality continues to boost companies' performance, according to Morgan Stanley’s proprietary HERS ranking. Over a decade ago, Morgan Stanley Research analysts set out to understand if companies that increase their focus on gender diversity make an impact on their bottom line. Analysts did this by scoring companies based on gender diversity at all levels — board members, executives, managers and employees — and then comparing those scores against share-price performance. The most recent analysis proves again that gender diversity can drive results. Based on an examination of 1,875 firms on the MSCI World Index, those with greater gender diversity— and therefore a higher Holistic Equal Representation Score (HERS)— outperformed less gender-diverse firms (those with lower HERS rankings) by 1.6% in 2022. "We believe that it’s worth keeping an eye on companies that make sustainable progress on gender diversity in the workplace," shared Stephen C. Byrd, Head of Morgan Stanley's Global Sustainability Research team. Read on for more Morgan Stanley ideas.
