I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Budapest) in Oct 2012
Interview
Applied online, and recieved a very short and informal telephone interview a few days later. Was told at the end of the interview that i will be sent the neccessary online tests to be completed in the next 48hours.
Having completed the test, i recieved a telephone call a week and half later saying that i am invited to the assessment centre the following week.
The assessment centre consisted of a personal interview(45mins), a technical interview(45mins), and a very relaxed HR interview.(15mins) On top of this it also included a grouptask based interview invigulated by numerous MS employees and follow up questions afetrwards towards the applicants based on what they taught of the outcome of the task, where they satisfied, what would they change, who would they most like to work with from the group etc.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The technical interview was the most difficult, and is the reason i did not recieve and offer.
Questions at the start of the technical interview were about your degree and modules that included knowlegde needed for the position, and based on your reply drilled into the details. The difficulty was that whatever you replied, the following question driller further and further into the details to the point where you cannot reply.
There were also hypothetical questions to test your knowledge on Excel
The process begins with an initial phone screen from HR. Successful candidates then complete a technical assessment testing Excel and financial modeling skills. Next, they interview with the hiring manager, followed by a panel interview with senior team members. A final case study presentation is given to department leadership before an offer is extended.
Psychometric testing, phone call interview that was skills based and an assessment centre that consisted of individual skills based interviews, group assessment where we were timed to present on a particular briefing and an individual assessment where were were given a brief where we had 50 minutes and presented to a panned on our conclusions
