One of the HR at JP Morgan Chase reached me for scheduling the interview. It was a weekend Women Drive. I was also called by Morgan Stanley the same day. But I decided to go to JP Morgan Chase that day for the interview.
The arrangement was very nice there with free refreshments and lunch coupons etc.
But first technical round was taken by two people who were very rude. The kind of tone and rubbish attitude they were using for asking the questions was very bad. I was not even feeling like answering to them seeing their attitude and insulting behavior.
I thought it is a women drive only, then how can such people talk to a candidate in such a manner.
Then HR reached me to say their as usual dialogue "You can leave for the day". I told HR, I would like to share my feedback also. She told ya sure go ahead. Then I explained in detail the kind of behavior that two people showed in the interview. HR was so kind and generous that she understood my point. Told me that ya she also sensed this kind of attitude and she is definitely going to escalate the matter.
She arranged another round of interview for me.
This time a Delivery manager came and took the interview. He was so impressed by my technical knowledge and skills. He asked questions on Core Java, Thread Pool, Multi-threading, Web services, Hibernate, Spring MVC, IOC, performance tuning etc.
Then explained in detail about the kind of projects they have and role which they are looking into.
He felt sorry for the previous team members behavior.
Then had another round of technical interview where they asked SOAP vs Restful web-services, Thread-local, Life cycle of a Thread, Life cycle of a bean. Types of Design patterns used, Types of IOC Containers, Performance tuning in Hibernate, Hibernate vs JPA, Types of EJBs etc.
Then third round was a Video conferencing round on a weekday with a Product Head. He asked about my project, roles, reason for change. Work culture at JP Morgan etc.
Then Coding round using Hirevue. There coding questions on sum of binary integers, Determine if two rectangles intersect given their x and y coordinates.
Last HR round for discussing CTC, notice period etc.
