I applied on September 6 and haven’t received an online assessment yet. Could you please let me know if there are any updates, or if this is a negative?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, it's not uncommon for banks, including Morgan Stanley, to take time before sending out online assessments or updates. Recruitment timelines can vary significantly depending on the volume of applications and internal processes. For example, in previous threads, candidates have reported delays or even being "ghosted" for weeks after applying.
Not receiving an online assessment yet does not necessarily mean a negative outcome. Some users have shared that they received updates or assessments weeks after applying. However, if you're concerned, it might be worth reaching out to HR or the recruitment team for clarification. Additionally, consider continuing to apply to other opportunities to keep your options open.

Hi, pretty sure you should receive an email in the following days. I received it 2 days later on my back-up email in the spam (don't ask me why).
This is odd… usually you receive those as soon as you submit your application. What’s the status on the website?
got hirevue a couple days ago, does anyone else have any updates?
