The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Albuquerque, NM) in May 2011
Interview
Phone interview with recruiter which was pretty laid back. 1 on 1 interview wasn't too bad- general questions were asked. Everyone was very nice and outgoing. Was given a stock report and asked to explain what it is. The last interview with the senior vice president was more rigid and serious. He tried to find out if I was in it for the long term
Simple, they were very welcoming and straightforward. I felt comfortable when I got there, but I could tell they wanted someone with more experience than me. It only lasted 30 minutes and they only really wanted to hear me talk about my experiences and asked one behavioral question.

Question 1
Describe a time you had a disagreement with a team member.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Palo Alto, CA) in Dec 2025
Interview
Very straightforward. Told me more about the role. Was looking for someone to start in January, but I don't graduate until June. Said she'd pass my resume along nonetheless (don't think anything will come of it considering they are looking for someone to start ASAP).

Question 1
What are your greatest strengths? Why are you interested in this position?
Little to no situational questions asked. Very casual interview. Went over past experience and jobs listed on my resume. Phone screening, in-person with manager, and a second in-person with branch leader and manager.
