I applied online. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Albany, NY) in Mar 2019
Interview
It was straightforward, you have a quick phone interview then move on to an online test and a Hirevue video (I did not have to do one for some reason). I was interview by two Associate/VPs at the branch. The final interview was a one on one with the Ex. Director of the Region. They're kind and responsive. I did not receive the offer but was on their top candidate list (I got another call from them later down the line)

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Bethesda, MD) in Dec 2020
Interview
Initial call, followed up by online application which included an IQ & EQ test, after that prospects are asked to make a Business Plan focused on "how do you plan to bring in 1 mil / month AUM".
Everyone I talked to was super nice and friendly, and they are very upfront about how difficult the job and workload can be, which is something that the industry is not so good about.
