Round 1: Coding Challenge
The online coding test is the first step in the Software Engineer Program(SEP) selection process. The test is on the HackerRank platform. We were given a 48-hour test window within which we could start our test. Before starting the test, we have been asked to mention a few personal details[Name, Email_Id, etc.]. We should enter the same details that we have used to apply for the SEP on the JP Morgan Chase&Co career’s Page. This is a Programming test of 100 marks having 2 programming questions carrying 50 marks each. There is no negative marking. The time allowed for the test is 60 minutes. The test is proctored(both audio&video).
In the initial selection round of Code for Good 2023, I was presented with two coding questions that tested my abilities in strings, arrays, basic data structures, and collections. I successfully tackled both problems:
- One involved identifying the longest even-length string within a given sentence,
- While the other revolved around generating permutations of strings.
I cleared both questions with all the provided test cases. I aced both questions, meeting all test case requirements and securing a spot in the second round.One should atleast solve one of the questions with all test cases passed and other question with partial test cases passes to have a chance to select for next round.
Contest Experience | JPMorgan Chase: Code for Good 2023
Code for Good is typically an event, competition, or program organized by JPMorgan Chase with the goal of bringing together software developers, designers, and other technical talents to use their skills for positive social impact.
- Participants work collaboratively to create technological solutions, such as software applications, websites, or tools, that address real-world challenges faced by nonprofit organizations, community groups, or other social causes.
- Code for Good gives participants a chance to meet recruiting teams and experience what it’s like to work as a software engineer at JPMorgan Chase.
- During this event, participants spend 24 hours with mentors and other team members, developing creative solutions to help nonprofits tackle real-world problems.
- Participants will get the opportunity to interact with JPMorgan Chase’s industry experts and attend a series of workshops before the actual hackathon begins.
- Afterward, everyone is encouraged to get to know their team and our technologists, who are in it for the long haul as mentors.
- Students enrolled in a bachelor’s degree program or a program sponsored by JPMorgan Chase are eligible for Code For Good.
I am sharing my experience of Code for Good 2023, which involves a three-round process.
