I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley in Sep 2017
Interview
The interview was very well organized and there were multiple rounds of interview to have diversity in the overall interview process. All the rounds were conducted on the same day -- took close to 4-5 hours. However, proper lunch/loo breaks were given so that the candidate remains comfortable.
Screening and two interviews. First one was one on one. Second one was meeting with multiple people. I waited too long to get results. Then received the results. I could not get the position but overall, nice conversation with professional people.
First round will be an HR interview, then candidates need to do a modelling test which last for approx 3 hours and to meet the whole team. Final round is a stock pitch presentation in front of the research management.
