JP Morgan|SE3|Bangalore|Offer

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

Online Assessment (OA)

Shortly after applying, I received a link to the online assessment. It consisted of two questions of easy-medium difficulty. One question was Minimum String Length After Removing Substrings; I don't recall the exact second question, but it was of similar difficulty.

Three days after completing the OA, a recruiter called me to inform 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

My Superday consisted of three rounds, all conducted on the same day.

Round 1: Design Pair Round

I was asked to design a high-level system for a parking lot. An AI service was already present, which automatically captured the photo of a vehicle's number plate and its entry timestamp. My task was to design the rest of the services and components, considering this existing AI service.

Round 2: Behavioral Round

This round involved general situation-based questions designed to understand my behavioral traits and how I handle different scenarios.

Round 3: Code Pair Round

This round had two parts. First, I was given a piece of working code and asked to provide review comments on it, similar to how one would review a pull request (PR). Second, I was asked to solve a problem: 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 requested 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 details of the position and the CTC they were offering, as the cohort was for both SE2 and SE3. The very next day, I received my offer letter for SE3.
