What is the interview process like at JPMorgan Chase?

JPMorgan Chase runs two visibly different funnels. For its front-office finance roles (investment banking, markets, private bank, commercial banking, risk, research) the shape is almost always the same: an online application or a networking/insight event, a recorded HireVue video screen (sometimes preceded by a pymetrics-style game assessment), then a virtual or in-person Superday of two or three back-to-back 25-30 minute interviews that skew heavily behavioral, with light valuation, markets-view or brainteaser probing depending on the desk. For technology hiring, especially in India, the funnel is a CGPA-gated resume screen, a one-hour HackerRank test of two easy-to-medium DSA problems, a HireVue recorded video round, and then either the Code for Good hackathon (which doubles as the final interview for campus intake) or two to three live technical rounds on DSA, Java/OOP and design plus a short informal VP or HR conversation. Quant and quant-model-risk hiring is the outlier: a long chain of six or so interviews built on stochastic calculus and probability proofs.

What topics does JPMorgan Chase test in interviews?

Commonly reported topics include Career goals, Firm differentiation, Information-driven planning, Regional knowledge, Relocation, Why JPMorgan.
