I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Menlo Park, CA) in May 2013
Interview
It was very personable. I was relocating and we did the interview over the phone and then in person. I spoke to several members rather than one interviewer. It gave a perspective of the culture of the branch and gave them a wider perspective of who I was. It helped open my eyes to the possible roles in the branch and how the management structure was.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me who I was and how I would add value to their branch.
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.

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.
