I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at J.P. Morgan (Singapore) in Mar 2014
Interview
Had to do IKM Java 6 tests online via agents, need to score as close to 100 to get past this point and in top 90% and above.
The questions are of dubious value to a real programmer as if I had to deal with the code presented I would have ripped most of it out and rewrote it, honestly most of the questions broke some principle from Joshua Bloch's book Effective Java with horrible calls and casts to parent objects then you had to decipher what method would actually get called. The rest is rote learning on packages and flow structure.

Question 1
I think they relegate strong people who have a wide range of skills not just java and low level knowledge of threads and poorly designed class hierarchy snafu's but thats their perogative and I'm sure you'll get plenty of people who can ace this part but can't really integrate or have other soft skills like human conversation... ;-)
Behavioural, standard psychometric testing. Asked me about my background, why I wanted JPM, things to look out for, what the markets are like, why I wanted to start in investment banking.
I applied online. I interviewed at J.P. Morgan (Kuala Lumpur) in Nov 2023
Interview
it was moderate with hirevue online interview where there will be 3 questions to be answered within the time limit. However, the time given to answer the question was sufficient and can be tolerated.
Hirevue Interview/Video interview
Five questions, four were behavioural, and one was a technical question. Each question was limited to 1 minute and 30 seconds response time, and one retry was allowed.
