JPMorgan Chase Business Analyst interviews often start with a recorded HireVue screen, then move into behavioral panel rounds, a superday, or in some cases SQL and estimation rounds depending on the team, with outcomes split between offers and rejections.

JPMorgan Chase's Business Analyst interviews often open with a recorded HireVue screen you complete on your own time. Formats differ from candidate to candidate:
Prompts mix motivation questions with behavioral ones. Motivation prompts included why this industry, which company you follow and why, and how you got into the field. Behavioral prompts covered analyzing a large dataset to make a decision, pulling information from multiple sources, teamwork and challenges. One candidate was also asked how recent market changes would affect clients, so keep up with current markets.
What follows varies. One candidate's process started with a panel of the hiring manager and a manager from another team, covering strengths, development areas and a time they had to involve a senior staff member. That was followed by a one-on-one with a director about where they could add value. Another candidate went through three virtual rounds of STAR-style questions, with the final round pushing harder on how their experience connected to the role. A candidate who reached a superday faced behavioral questions plus a market-awareness prompt: what they would tell a client asking about the yield on a 10-year Treasury.
The most technical account described four rounds:
One candidate also heard secondhand that a later round could include Tableau questions, so a quick refresher is worthwhile.
Behavioral preparation matters everywhere. Have concise STAR stories with clear outcomes and a strong example of a data-driven decision, and be ready to tie each answer back to the Business Analyst role. Brush up on SQL and estimation in case your team adds a technical round.

Synthesized from candidate reports. Individual experiences may vary.
Several candidates start with a recorded HireVue completed on their own schedule. One candidate answered three questions with about 1.5 minutes to think and 2 minutes to respond, another had 1 minute of prep and 2 minutes per answer, and a third answered eight behavioral questions. Prompts included why this industry, which company you follow, analyzing data from multiple sources or a large dataset, and how recent market changes would affect clients.
One candidate's process began with a panel interview with the hiring manager and a manager from another team. It covered their background, strengths, development areas, and a time they had to involve a senior staff member. Another candidate described three virtual Zoom rounds of STAR-style competency questions, such as a time they were confused by the details of a request.
One candidate's HireVue was followed by a superday focused on behavioral assessment and market awareness. They were asked what they would say if a client called about the yield on a 10-year Treasury. No calculation was required; the focus was on client communication and following markets.
One candidate described two technical rounds of real-time SQL problems, including year-over-year and month-over-month sales calculations with follow-up questions and detailed resume questions. These were followed by a round on banking products and the calculations behind them. Another candidate heard secondhand that a later round could include Tableau questions.
One candidate's last round was with a VP or senior leader and centered on guesstimate-style estimation problems, with follow-ups on their assumptions. Another candidate's one-on-one with a director focused on where they could add value. A third said the final of three virtual rounds pushed harder on how their background connected to the role.
Outcomes are mixed. Some candidates received and accepted offers after a panel-and-director process or a superday, while others did not move forward after HireVue or later rounds. Communication varied, with one candidate describing slow follow-up and another describing quick, responsive emails.
