Interviewed May 2009 (took a day)

They asked standard investment banking questions, which were extremely difficult. Questions included "Walk me through your resume" and "How are the three financial statements connected?". If you think you have what it takes, you should interview with them. Otherwise, there's a good chance you're wasting your time. The best way to handle the interview is through thorough preparation-- read the Vault guide, know all your deals very well and just go in there and be prepared for anything. The people working at the firm are very smart (no I'm not getting paid to write this) and it could potentially be a great place to work.

Interviewed Jun 2009 in Mumbai (India) (took a day)

I had two interviews. One was taken by the head of the team I would be working for and the other was taken by the HR rep. Both were asking very basic questions based on my CV and nothing was out of context. All questions were centered around the CV and there were some Finance related questions like which side of the balance sheet is equity on.

Interviewed May 2010 (took 2+ weeks)

Lots of technical questions. DCF, Cash flows. Talked a lot about my past experiences in finance. Emphasized my education, investment clubs, and very specific questions about what I did relating to finance. Went into detail about a few financial models I created including the assumptions I made and my thought process. Seemed very friendly but I felt my technical skills were lacking.

Interviewed Jun 2009 in Carr, CO (took a day)

Phone fit screening interview, talked for about a half an hour with an HR person. Why JPM, why finance, all the things you have probably already heard. Interviewer was very friendly and i had thought that I had left a good impression, but I never received a call afterwords, so I guess I wasn't exactly what they were looking for.

Interviewed Dec 2008 in New York, NY (took 4 weeks)

Had 2 phone interviews then invited for a Superday at the New York office consisting of 4 back to back 30 min interviews. 2 of the interviews were 1:1 and 2 of them were 2;1. Talked to MD's, associates, and analysts. Interview was pretty technical but nothing too hard. Asked a lot of basic accounting and economic questions. Also had a couple of brainteasers such as "how many ping pong balls do you think it would take to fill of this room?" Phone interviews were not as much of a breeze as I expected. During one, I was asked "Should a company offer debt or equity?"
