Morgan Stanley Operations Analyst interview questions

I interviewed for the Operations Analyst position in December of last year. The interview was relatively easy. It consisted of an on-campus interview on-site and another 2 1:1 interviews before they split us up into a team to work with legos. The puropose of the exercise was to see how we would as a team. They tell you to remember where everythnig goes and you only have about thirty seconds to rememberize where all the lego peices go. The trick is to come up with a plan to build your own model and your own idea. Esentially they want creativity and teamwork. Morgan Stanley is a great company although they are beginnig a series of upcoming layoffs, but the feedback between HR takes way too much time. I have heard this from a number of other people. Most people take other offers by the time the process concludes because the delay is too long.

Started with an on campus interview with one of the Managers in the operations department. It was a pretty straight forward behavioral interview and also a chance for them to see what you know about the company. The second round interview was held a week or so later in the Baltimore Office. It lasted about 2 1/2 hours and consisted of 2 1:1s and then a group presentation to a panel about a random problem they came up with. Mine was to design a roadway system into and out of a congested city. They basically just want to see how you work in a group. Everyone's friendly though and the interview process goes by fairly quickly.
