I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at J.P. Morgan (Londres, Inglaterra) in Feb 2017
Interview
2 round of telephone interviews, followed by a superday. Each telephone interview usually quickly go through CV and then 4 or 5 tech questions. Telephone interview cover a lot of maths like markov chain, stochastic calculus, probability, statistics, not go into very deep. Usually get 3 questions well answered can give a good chance to pass. On superday, 1 on 1 interview with several interviewers. Questions are similar to telephone round but much more difficult. Little time to take a breath between meeting different interviewers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Great focus on stochastic calculus questions, such as brownian motion, martingale, application of ito lemma. (Whether W^3 is a martingale or not, if not, add a term and makes it a martingale). Markov chain (2 people play a game, roll the dice one by one, the person who first roll the 6 win, what is the probability of the 1st person to win). Some probability and statistics questions. A little linear algebra.
3/5 questions are maths, 1/5 questions are coding (such as the inheritage of the class in C++), 1/5 are financial questions(delta hedging, butterfly option spread).

Interview
When HR connecting me about the 1st round interview, he told me that I will be asked brain teasers on math, finance and programming. But the interviewer spent about half an hour on the programming grammer, on C++ and Python, some on which I find really difficult to answer. Then about five minutes on simple probability and ten minutes on financial engineering.
I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at J.P. Morgan (Londres, Inglaterra) in Nov 2016
Interview
phone interview on brain teasers and mathematics questoins + motivation questions.
The phone lasted 45 minutes and I had "to ask " to ask questions in the end; show your interest
