The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Baltimore, MD)
Interview
The interview process was incredibly long winded- it began with receiving an email from HR stating that they were interested in a resume I had posted online. After two phone interviews, two months time, and several follow up emails, I was invited to come to the office. I met with several directors, associates, and the VP of the department in the first interview. After another two weeks, I was invited back for a second interview to meet additional people on the team. It took another two weeks to finally be offered the job.
