I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at JPMorganChase (New York, NY) in Nov 2010
Interview
First phone screening. Then one-on-one campus interview. Then a Superday at JP Morgan's headquarters. Mostly fit questions, there are a few brain teasers and technicals here and there. Interviews aren't too hard but some of the interviewers have very unpleasant personalities.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why should we choose you instead of a 4.0 from Harvard?
1 Phone Call, 2 further technical/behavioral and a superday. Overall it was a very good processs which focused on a good technical foundation with cultural fit as well. I think they did a great job interviewing
JP Morgan interviews usually run in stages: online application and aptitude tests, HR screening, one or two technical rounds, and a final behavioral or managerial interview. Expect finance basics, problem-solving, ethics, and pressure-tested communication.
Interview Stages
Initial Screening: The process usually begins with an initial phone or video call with a recruiter or a human resources representative. This step focuses on your qualifications, interests, and general fit.
Subsequent Interviews: If you move forward, you will have several rounds of interviews with analysts, associates, and potentially higher management like a VP or head of a program. These discussions typically mix behavioral questions, technical questions, and a focus on Excel skills.
Case Study/Project (Potential): For the financial analyst role, some candidates have reported a final round that includes a case study presentation or a project to assess problem-solving and analytical skills.
Offer and Onboarding: If a conditional offer is extended, it is contingent on a background check, which includes verifying employment, education, certifications, and licenses.
