I applied through university. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Montreal, QC)
Interview
As with most large companies, the interview process is split into several stages. First there is the on campus interviews, which takes place fairly soon after the career fair. The questions are about data structures. The interview will ask you to write code on a white board and they are interested in your thinking process, so explain yourself while you write. Very important to know you Big-O for sorting algorithms.
The second round of interview is about a day-long process. First arrive for small discussions with employees who had taken the summer program before. Then there is a group activity which will look at how well you work in teams and how well your group design the solution to the given problem. We had the task of designing a highway system for an imaginary city. Then expect around three hours of interviews. About three technical interviews, each lasting around 30-45 minutes. The interviewers come from different teams who are interested in you. Same kind of questions as the on campus one. Just remember to study beforehand.
The interview process was a great experience overall. I enjoyed the conversation and felt it was a strong opportunity to connect my background to the work Morgan Stanley does. There was a HireVue than one one one.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about yourself and how you're a good match.
After submitting the application, they provide the online assessment link to all the people, I guess. After taking the assessment, the applicants who are moving on to the next step will have a Zoom interview with HR and a superday (final), respectively.

Question 1
Mostly about fit questions. Not a single technical question was asked.
Well organised, informational, and transparent process. After test there was a hirevue, then a telephone interview and then the superday, all of which was completed in about one month. I appreciated their speed and for not dragging out the process.
