I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at J.P. Morgan in Oct 2014
Interview
I applied around mid September, they answered after a month to schedule a technical interview over the phone after 3 days. The interviewer did not seem to be very willing to do the interview from second one, he sounded quite bored and uninterested in every answer I gave him.
Questions were mainly about my CV, and most significantly about my dissertation topic. Every time I explained a concept the guy came up with a new question following up on what I was saying. No unexpected questions, they were all fairly easy.
I received feedback from this interview after a month. I thought I did quite good in the interview, but for some reason I did not make it through the next round.

Interview
I interviewed for the position of Quantitative Research Associate for three different desks at JPM. The HR/recruiting teams for each of these groups did not communicate well with themselves internally. In total I had 6 interviews with the wholesale credit team, 2 with their RAAS group, and 1 with their rates desk.
Eventually, I received an offer from their wholesale credit team for what I believed was a below market offer. When I attempted to negotiate, they came back saying this was the most they can do, and I walked away.
