JP Morgan|SE3|Bangalore|Offer

I recently applied to the J.P. Morgan cohort SWE program for 2024 in Bengaluru and wanted to share my interview journey.

Online Assessment (OA)

Shortly after applying, I received a link to the online assessment, which consisted of two questions of easy-medium difficulty:

1. One question was Minimum String Length After Removing Substrings.
2. The second question's exact details I don't recall, but it was of similar difficulty.

Three days after completing the OA, I received a call from a recruiter informing me that I had progressed to the next stage and that they would schedule my Superday. About 15-20 days later, they contacted me again to confirm the schedule for my Superday.

Superday

The Superday consisted of three rounds on the same day:

Round 1: Design Pair Round

I was tasked with designing a high-level architecture for a parking lot system. An existing AI service was already in place to automatically capture vehicle number plates and entry timestamps. My job was to design the remaining services and components, taking into account this existing AI service.

Round 2: Behavioral Round

This round involved general situation-based questions aimed at understanding my behavioral traits and how I handle different scenarios.

Round 3: CoderPad Round

This round had two parts:

1. I was given a piece of working code and asked to provide review comments on it, similar to performing a pull request (PR) review.
2. I had to write a function to count the number of substrings with non-repeating characters.

All three rounds went well. Two days later, I received an email confirming that I was one of the selected candidates. They asked for a few details like my current CTC, expected CTC, and notice period.Two days after providing the required information, HR scheduled a call with me to discuss the position details and the CTC they were offering, as the cohort was for both SE2 and SE3. The very next day, I received my offer letter.
