I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at J.P. Morgan (London, England) in Feb 2016
Interview
Assessment Centre consisting of a case study exercise, group activity and 2 half an hour interviews- Small group of people in the assessment centre, you can tell that everyone is secretly very competitive and everyone was rushing to be the time keeper in the group activity. Case study was hard, time flies so use every moment you can- overall really bad experience, be prepared for the worst...
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked loads of brainteaser questions such as theres a lily in the pond, the lily doubles in size every minute, how big was it at 30 seconds and another one that was about a boy and a girl who were born at the same day same time but they aren't related
Campus interview - asked questions about interest in following market trends, ran through case studies of a couple companies in a sector, discussed impact of geopolitical events to businesses, and some basic accounting questions. Then discussed long term goals and reason for interest in the space.
Asked abt markets. Hobbies. Rates. Asset allocation. Background, why I want the job, why JPMorgan, time when I faced difficult decision, typical behavioral questions not anything super crazy outlandish. Good luck
The interview process was excellent and highly professional. They focused entirely on relevant, market-specific questions that perfectly aligned with current industry standards. This allowed me to thoroughly discuss my background and demonstrate how my specific work experience directly relates to the role. Overall, it was a comprehensive and well-structured conversation that gave me a great opportunity to showcase my expertise and professional value.
