I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley in Nov 2015
Interview
For the first interview, MD firstly asks me to go through my resume, and then some typical questions such as why Sales & Trading? What's your greatest accomplishments? No technical part is asked for the first interview. For the second interview, my interviewer is an analyst. She gives me 5 mins to go through my resume and asks me to pitch her two stocks. Finally, she asks if there is any question I want to ask about her. I can't come up with an answer and feel I have screw up my interview.

I applied online. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley in Jan 2014
Interview
Pretty standard recruiting process. Two rounds of phone interviews, and then on-site final round interview. Meeting 3 people in total, 1 group discussion and 1 presentation. An intense 5-hour process with few breaks in between. Candidates' background are really strong, and you should be prepared to defense yourself during the interview.
