I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Glasgow, Escocia) in Oct 2018
Interview
Company Specific questions and Cover Letter
Online Tests - Hardest Part of the Process - and the most important (Numerical, Deductive Reasoning, Situation Judgement) - Practicee!
Telephone Interview - Little probing, follows a strength based interview style - it is up to you to mention how a specific skill relates to your experience, they will not ask about your experience - so link back to this as much as possible .
Assessment Centre - Took about 4/5 hours, (My interview was in Glasgow - Everyone else seemed to be from the local unis)
1. Had another strength based interview (2 interviewers) - same as telephone though took a bit longer (very relaxed interview)
2. Followed by a case study interview - read a text and say how you would reacte to a situation E.g A new process is implemented?A new opportunity to work somewhere else in the business what would you do? - Intitally talk about what you would do (for about 10 minutes - 4 scenarios) then go onto to some more specific questions - thinking is you have to link back to the 'company values' again try and use examples of your own experience (Again relaxed interview - 2 interviewers)
3.Office Tour
4. Group based exercise, everyone reads the same text (10 minutes for reading) and then must discuss as a group. In this process you are observed by about 4 indivigilators - you can ask them 'business specific questions' as they are part of exercise - they represent heads of different business areas. Then you go onto present your findings... (I found this the hardest part of the process - a combination of a long day and just an inability to focus on the info - and subsequently failed at this hurdle).
Anyway Goodluck! Also, frustratingly (I spent ages researching) you need to know barely any company specific info!
