I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at JPMorganChase (New York, NY) in Feb 2013
Interview
1 st round phone interview. It took about an hour. Spent 15 mins on past research experience. Then got asked two probability questions. I was not able to solve one. The finance and programming problems are easy. There is no particular unexpected questions. But you MUST answer every question correctly !

puzzle questions were from brainstellar, one was the amoeba one in which there is p probability to get spilt .Hence find prob for extinction of that spieces.
My experience is mixed, it was great with some interviewers, but not with the others. Usually focused on textbook examples which interviewers themselves did not seem to care about. Overall, the scheduling was a nightmare, as many recruiters did not respond proactively..
Interviews online, starting with the hiring manager, then a sequence of interviews of 45min. Maths and probabilities questions, team-specific knowledge as well. Easy coding question - describe the approach; explain some programming concepts.
