Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Definitely have some basic knowledge of Excel, the more the better. Not many technical questions and they really want to see if you can work in team well. Need very good answers on why Morgan Stanley and why Finance, because they know a lot of people go to Finance because they cannot get an IB summer internship. Be ready to be creative, be a team player, and be ready to talk about your interests.
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
