I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (Budapest) in Sep 2013
Interview
There was a complete assessment center with three interviews. Group excercise, interpersonal skills, technology skills. All of them pretty standard. Interviewers were quite relaxed, the process was smooth.
There was a technical phone screening, they went quite into detail, this was a bit frustrating, not having time and space for properly elaborating the questions.
The personal interviews are more easy-going they try to make you feel good during the process.

Very straightforward, some DP and string manipulation questions. The interviews were nice and coherent about the problems. Some System Design talked about broadly as well like design a trading system component.
