I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley in Nov 2014
Interview
Firstly, I had to fill in a application form online and go through the several different questions for equality and job specific. Then there was the psychometric tests which they sent you, and if you passed this you get invited back for a telephone interview where they ask basic competency based questions it usually ranges between 3-5 questions depending on the answers they want to hear from you. If your successful you get invited for an assessment centre day when your in the office doing a variety of different activities with the different people who also applied for the same role, and then a couple of the people depending on numbers get picked to start their industrial placement programme with them in June.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
-What asset would you bring to company?
-What makes you different as a candidate to the hundreds of other people applying for the same position?
The whole process was relatively quick. Application and tests are quite typical, nothing special.
Phone interview is purely competency based. Tell me about a time when you showed... Why MS, why operations.
AC was only 3,5 hours and very casual. MS booked me a nice hotel and paid for the trip. Everyone's very nice and the London Office is amazing, although it might be a bit difficult to find as there's no sign saying MS outside.
AC started with a group exercise. Again, standard text book stuff. Had a budget, 30 minutes. Everyone had their priorities what to include in the budget. Half way through they gave us new information. Contribute, don't dominate, listen, ask questions, keep time, tell others to move on if short of time.
Then there was a short networking session with 3 guys on industrial placement. Gave a good insight.
Finally, 2 interviews. If you felt good with the phone interview, these will make you feel even better, since they are exactly the same type of questions. Maybe additionally something about regulations.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Londres, Inglaterra) in Nov 2014
Interview
I applied using Morgan Stanley's online application. They required CV, Cover Letter + some questions. I heard back from them in a week, and I was invited for a telephone interview. Fairly basic questions (why OP, why Morgan Stanley), mostly competency based questions (they require you to use examples). After that, they invited me to an Assessment centre.
