I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at J.P. Morgan (Mumbai)
Interview
Got a call from HR about the position and my interest. HR scheduled the first telephonic discussion with the technical panel. Next day HR called that I have cleared the first round and I will need to come down to their office in Mumbai for further discussions. Attended 3 more rounds 1 technical & 2 were high level (with VPs). Same day HR discussion happened and my salary expectation & other aspirations were noted by the HR. While leaving HR told me that there would be one more final technical discussion with the US counterpart (VP). After 3 days got the call from HR about the US round. It was a pure technical round and I would say toughest among all, for around 1. hours. After 3 days HR called me that feedback is positive and we will offer you. After that day I didn't receive any call from HR then I called them (luckily I had HRs mobile no), he told me that approvals are in progress and will take some time. I waited for one more week but no response. Next week I called the HR again and they told me that same story. Same thing happened again and I waited for 2 weeks this time. I called the HR and he said that the position I was interviewed is went on hold but they will offer me and are looking for approvals for some other position in the same dept. I waited for more than 3 weeks and called him again and got the same response , finally after some days got the call from HR , he apologize for the delay and justified the delay. He asked me about my expectation and I quoted the figure. Next week I got the LOI finally. They offered me what I asked so no negotiation. :)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Technical discussions were little high level and were above avg.
Quick process, got to speak to the VP of the team on the first interview, jumped straight into my experience.
VP was direct by very respectable and in the end I did not get the role but happy they were quick to get back to me
there were a couple of rounds within the team from juniors to seniors, and they were thirty minutes each and remote, the questions are standard behavioral but more technical, and they delivered the questions very fast
It was a great expereince and also enjoyed the people. Also the conversations were very intellectual but also fun to enjoy. Even though I didnt move ahead I think this was a fun experience.
