The whole interview process lasted for around 2 months, and each stage needed at least 2 weeks for feedback. The recruitment process takes a very long time, which makes me feel they are unprofessional. The overall interview difficulty is easy; however, it is hard to stand out from the pool.

Pre-screen: Recruiter Phone Interview This stage allowed the recruiter to know more about your background and check if it matched the requirements of the team.

Round 1: Hiring Manager Phone Interview The questions asked by the manager were easy, generally related to your experience, core Java, and behavioral questions.

Round 2: Java coding assessment In this stage, the recruiter sent me a link for a Java coding assessment. One easy-level, non-algorithm question was required to be finished within 1 hour. They asked me to write a program to convert file size in different units (not commonly used in daily life, so you had to research that). For some test cases with extremely large integer numbers, you needed to know how to handle overflow and precision issues during the calculation. (I don't think this is basic knowledge for junior people, as not many development positions need to handle precision issues).

My thoughts on JPM HK:

• Old tech - JPM tech is weaker than other banks.
• Bad working location - Kwun Tong.

Common Java questions, experience questions, and behavioral questions.
