I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at J.P. Morgan (London, England) in Nov 2011
Interview
1st round is a 30min on-campus interview: general questions about CV, your motivation and some brainteasers. Then 4 a phone interview (45 min each), with more math and computer science problems. Also I was asked the usual personality and walk me through your resume questions. All interviewers were very nice

Question 1
Detailed questions about Black-Scholes, Ito's lemma, Brownian motion
A line of 100 airline passengers is waiting to board a plane. They each hold a ticket to one of the 100 seats on that flight. (For convenience, let's say that the nth passenger in line has a ticket for the seat number n.)
Unfortunately, the first person in line is crazy, and will ignore the seat number on their ticket, picking a random seat to occupy. All of the other passengers are quite normal, and will go to their proper seat unless it is already occupied. If it is occupied, they will then find a free seat to sit in, at random.
What is the probability that the last (100th) person to board the plane will sit in their proper seat (#100)?
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at J.P. Morgan

I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at J.P. Morgan (Geneva) in Feb 2020
Interview
Called for a face to face interview 4 weeks after i sent the application. First Round was technical based questions that were moderate difficulty. I got a call from HR the next day to arrange my 2nd round interview which was 1 week later. 2nd interview was more laid back, a get to know you session. 3rd Interview was a video conference with a VP in the USA and included competency based questions. I then got a call from HR informing me i was the hiring managers top candidate and they wanted to schedule a 10 minute interview to discuss salary expectations. 1 week later i got the congratulations email and an offer letter. Very friendly staff and efficient interview process. HR were very informative and helpful, 10/10.
