JPMorgan Chase & Co. conducts its on-campus hiring through Code for Good hackathon. The entire hiring process is divided into 3 steps:

  1. Online Coding Test
  2. HireVue Interview
  3. Code for Good Hackathon

Round 1: The online coding test was conducted on the HackerRank platform. It had 2 programming questions, each of 50 points.

  • Question 1: An array is given. Pick 2 numbers from the array, add their sum at the end, and continue the process until the array is reduced to a single element. The cost of doing this operation equals the sum of two elements inserted back into the array. Perform the operation to achieve minimum cost.

  • Question 2: Daily problems of two coders are given and their initial difference is also given. Find the minimum number of days for coder A to solve more problems than coder B and return -1 if it is not possible.

Round 2: The HireVue interview had 2 questions and the total duration was about 10 minutes.

  • Question 1: Explain a project which provided you with a great learning experience and has a real-time application.

  • Question 2: Where do you see yourself in your professional career?

Round 3: The Code for Good Hackathon had several problem statements provided by NGOs. 7-8 students are grouped into a team and 2 days are given to decide the tech stack and know the strengths of the team. Each team is provided with 2 mentors who also take 1 on 1 interviews during the hackathon. My team worked on the development of a MERN stack-based web application and we were the runners-up in the hackathon. The 1 on 1 interview is the key factor for the selection in the firm.

  • Mentor 1: This interview lasted for about 30 minutes. He asked me questions on database as I was working on MongoDB at that time. We had a discussion on SQL vs MongoDB, few SQL queries, Middleware in Node JS, REST API and Schema generation in Node JS + MongoDB and so on.

  • Mentor 2: This interview lasted for about 20 minutes. He asked me to show what I contributed in the application along with one of my resume project. Then he asked me few typical HR questions.

After 45 days, I got the mail for being selected for 6 month Internship and Full Time Employment from JPMC.
