I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Morgan Stanley (New York, NY) in Jan 2011
Interview
he asked 3 problem solving questions
the first one was about a deck of 1000 cards that were randomly sorted and he asked how many tries it would take to sort them
the second one was about 9 coins, 8 of which were the same weight but the 9th one being 0.001 g heavier. if given a scale, what is the least number of attempts with the balance would you need to determine which coin is the heaviest
the third one was about a drawer full of different color socks: 10 black, 6 blue, 4 red, if you don't look at the drawer, how many attempts would it take you to find a matching pair of socks.
The OA was quite difficult involving aptitude, debugging and programming qns. The aptitude was most time consuming and where mostly pictorial and needed much time to solve. Debugging is better and included easier qns.

Straightforward, more focus on fit and eagerness than market knowledge. Everyone was kind, interviews were short but I talked to people in various teams. Multiple stages online then I eventually received an offer in person.
