I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at J.P. Morgan (Sydney) in July 2011
Interview
Very prompt and efficient in their responses in the lead up to the interview. Helpful in answering questions about the process before and after the interview.
Interview was well conducted and professional with the classic questions asked (split up between technical and "fit"). Nothing out of left field but was asked a few topical things (how would you value Groupon? Any social network?).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you value Groupon or any other social network?
Overall good experience, asset management. Different divisions and the team itself is small. Hours are good and seems to be positive culture. Supportive and good learning environment. Don’t hire too much and hard to get in.
The first round interview was an online, one way interview (Hirevue) which asked around four or five behavioural questions about the company and aspirations for the job, such as why do you want to work for JP Morgan
Three 25 minute interviews ranging from associates to MDs. Not too intense but depends on interview style and the role itself so you can expect more technical Qs for markets / IB but less technical for other roles

Tell me about a time you had to manage different deadlines
