I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at J.P. Morgan (London, England) in Sep 2011
Interview
The hiring process was very smooth. The HR function was very efficient. Standard first round competency interviews with second round assessment centre. The assessment centre includes a group exercise. No surprises. Analytical skills are a must. Prior knowledge on accounting and finance would be very helpful. The whole hiring process lasted 4 weeks.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Where do you think the banking industry is heading?
Quick process, got to speak to the VP of the team on the first interview, jumped straight into my experience.
VP was direct by very respectable and in the end I did not get the role but happy they were quick to get back to me
there were a couple of rounds within the team from juniors to seniors, and they were thirty minutes each and remote, the questions are standard behavioral but more technical, and they delivered the questions very fast
It was a great expereince and also enjoyed the people. Also the conversations were very intellectual but also fun to enjoy. Even though I didnt move ahead I think this was a fun experience.
