I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Tokyo) in Sep 2024
Interview
Initially, applicants must complete a web-based application, which includes uploading their CV and composing several essays. Following this, there is an online interview process. However, this 'interview' involves answering pre-set questions by recording a video response. Candidates have only two attempts to record their video answers, making it potentially more challenging than a traditional interview.
It has been over a month since this last step, and I have not received any feedback or response. I don't know if I passed or not. Honestly, ghosting candidates is awful and disrespectful, yet unfortunately more and more frequent.
2 rounds of interview one with the lead and other with the VP. it focuses more on your skills and experience in your current role where in you are asked regarding logical situations.
