Two rounds of interviews. The first was theory questions and one coding question: transpose of a matrix. The second round was system design of your recent project, a Trie coding question, and one scenario-based Java question.

I applied online and got a link to complete a coding test and video interview a few days after. I got an invite to the assessment centre two months after. The AC was two stages: one technical interview and one behavioural interview.

Arbitrary, easy questions, total lack of character, coupled with an obvious lack of control by everyone who was interviewing me. I’ve worked for J.P. Morgan in the past; these guys really had no spark.
