I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (New York, NY) in Oct 2013
Interview
Entry level position. Referred by an employee. Then they called me to have an in-person interview with three people in the team.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What if the VaR is too small and the loss can be ignored?
All went smoothly with HR, not too many rounds, I think 2-3. There was no assessment center. There were all professional questions at the interview, all relevant to the job.

Interview
The interview were scheduled for 30 minutes. The manager was late for 5 mins and he doesnt care. In the beginning , he was still playing with his phone. And I could not his voice , I asked if there is any solution , he just waved his head. During the interview, he also interrupted my sentences a lot . Reuiqred many skills that are not in the job description In the end he could not finish his sentences because he was late for 5 minutes so time is up. He promised he will give a feedback ... 2 days later they checked my residence permit . , without giving any feedback , and one week later they just change my status in the system as "no longer being consideration". During the whole interview , I cant see respect.
