The interview was with 2 people. They didn't seem ready to provide additional training and wanted someone who could jump straight into the work. The interview was more a test of knowledge and React concepts than a test of aptitude. Considering the role was 5 days in the office, I don't think I'd thrive in the environment the interviewers provided.

Interview
Applied online directly with company.
Was given a skype/zoom interview basic/standard tech interview questions. Was asked detailed questions about what was used during an internship in terms of stack and libraries. It got to the point were the questions got so detailed I had to tell them it was 5 years ago since I did the internship and that I either didn't know or remember. Turns out they didn't review my cv before the call at all and had no idea till I mention things to them.
Also the person organizing the interview changed the data of the interview without saying anything to me at all. I spotted in the last email they sent to me. I never hared back from them at all which seems like it was best since this was the worst organisation skills I have ever seen in an interview process. The person I was interviewed by didn't know what the process was or anything about the role other then it was in Dublin and not america.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at J.P. Morgan (Bengaluru) in Aug 2023

Interview
1. Hackerank Test : 2 leetcode medium
2. Technical Round - Remember anything and everything about Java in general. Databases were created so that no one has to through ledger records every time they want to get any info, but I guess JPMC employees aren’t aware of stackoverflow/Google and expect precise answers to anything about Java. Pretty dumb I would say not using your brain to build intelligent systems rather filling it up with Java knowledge. Glad I wasn’t eligible for the next round. Best of luck to them to find the employees who have mugged up the entire Java book.
Two Leetcode Medium questions : they don’t expect to run the code but discuss your approach and edge cases which I think I did decent and came to the most optimal solution.
3. The 2nd Technical round which was scheduled was cancelled.
