I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (New York, NY) in Mar 2010
Interview
Applied this position through my university career web site. Had a phone interview with MS HR staff. The whole interview took place for around 30 mins. First walked through my resume and then asked for some brain teaser questions. Maybe I was not answer these brain teaser questions very well, so got rejected by MS.
