I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at J.P. Morgan
Interview
First time I did in 2019 (London). There were many rounds. 1- Online coding challenge. Round 2,3 and 4 - 1 hour technical and design video call (All interviewers from USA different locations). two of them kept their video off so I was looking at the dark screen that I found quite unprofessional. I stopped the process as I got the offer from other company as recruitement process was taking too much time. It took 2 weeks to get the code review of the first assignment. So I was happy to accept other offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Payment system design, reactive programming, CI/CD, data structures related questions
The interview process was well-structured and professional. It started with an online application, followed by an online assessment that included aptitude questions and basic technical/problem-solving tasks. After clearing that, I was invited for 2–3 interview rounds.
The first round focused on technical and role-specific questions along with some questions on past projects and experience. The interviewer also asked about problem-solving approaches and how I handled challenges in previous roles or academic work.
The next round was more behavioral, with questions around teamwork, leadership, and situational scenarios. They were particularly interested in understanding cultural fit and how well I aligned with the company’s values.
Overall, the interviewers were friendly and gave enough time to think through answers. The difficulty level was moderate — not overly tricky but required good preparation and clarity of concepts.Tip:
Be clear on your fundamentals, prepare examples for behavioral questions, and have a good understanding of what JPMorgan Chase does.

Interview
I recently went through a technical interview for a mid-to-senior level engineering role, and the experience was quite disappointing. The interviewer did not provide any introduction or context about the role or the session, and instead immediately jumped into technical questions without setting expectations.
The discussion started with low-level commands and syntax-related questions, but without clarifying the goal or what was being evaluated. When I attempted to explain my reasoning or ask clarifying questions, the responses were minimal and sometimes dismissive, which made the interaction feel one-sided.
There was also a lack of structure in how the questions were asked. Some topics shifted abruptly (for example, from basic command-level questions to conceptual topics like data structures), without a clear flow or objective. This made it difficult to understand what the interviewer was trying to assess.
Overall, the interview did not feel like a constructive technical conversation. It lacked collaboration, clear communication, and professionalism. I would recommend better interviewer training and a more structured and respectful approach to candidate evaluation.
