I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at JPMorganChase (New York, NY) in Dec 2008
Interview
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?"
The interview was really tough - had a hard time during it. Would recommend people to go through the whole wall street prep courses. The accounting and DCF modules would probably be good to look over.
Very intricate interview and was a great learning experience for future endeavors. Long interview with a lot of questions both personal and technical. Worth preparing for and asking peers for pointers and talking points.
