I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at JPMorganChase (College Park, MD) in Oct 2019
Interview
First I had a 2 question hirevue, alongwith a video explanation of each of my solutions. I got the harder question correct, but misunderstood the easier one, but still got an interview.
The interview was 2 back to back, on site interviews. The first one was technical. They did not ask me any sort of leetcode type problems. It started simple with stuff like what is your favorite language and what are the basics of Java,. Then we went into more complicated things like the JDK/JRE/JVM, the difference between arraylists and linked lists, how do hash tables work, what are the key features of OOPS, and other java concepts. The interview was pretty fast paced, and I would get a new question the moment I answered the one before it.
The behavioral interview was much more relaxed. The interviewer was very nice, and he asked me questions about me demonstrating soft skill like leadership and problem solving, as well as teamwork and some others. Pretty much the same as most behavioral interviews
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the difference between a linked list and an arraylist, and when would you use one over the other
Was given a leetcode problem within the first 4 mins of the interviewer. Wish I was making this up. Interviewers did not really introduce themselves besides names, straight to the code problem.The interview felt extremely cold. No soul, no passion, no discussion
Asked very scripted questions and everyone took a lot of notes. I really enjoyed the people I spoke with and they really made me think about the role and my past

Interview
Asked a few questions about C++ via a word doc. The interviewer was very rude from the beginning of the interview. He seemed to be angry at me for even being in the interview and taking his time. This person should not be giving interviews. Maybe he wanted to yell at someone who couldn't yell back. Very unprofessional, I ended the interview early because I was so upset.
