I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at J.P. Morgan in Apr 2011
Interview
Conducted multiple phone interviews. First phone interview consisted of behavioral questions and reasons why I wanted to joining the finance industry. Also asked a few outside the box questions, riddle type questions which was surprising for a first interview. The second phone interview was easier. Again, behavioral questions and market based questions.

Question 1
If you have two sand glass timers, one with 7 minutes worth of sand and another with 4 minutes worth of sand, how do you use both to precisely time 12 minutes?
Very behaviorally focused. It was for a capital markets role, so it was more about the person I was not about my technical knowledge. Asked very basic market questions (what is happening, outlook, what would you do with 1 m)

Entrevista tranquila, perguntas sobre o candidato, experiências, aspirações, etc. Recrutador fez boas perguntas, estava a par do meu CV, esteve atento às respostas. Depois, houve uma rodada com o gerente da área com perguntas também similares à primeira rodada.
