JPI Interview Questions
& Process

The company was quick to respond and efficient, making it a great interview experience. Everything was done online. The interviewers were happy to answer any questions and would get back to me if they didn't have an answer right away.

I was initially very interested in JPI due to the growth opportunities and culture at the firm. I became less enthused as the interview process went on due to extreme disorganization and having interviews with personnel with less credentials/qualifications/experience than myself. It took a month from the first interview to get to the offer letter with a lot of miscommunication in between. Even though I was very upfront regarding pay and title, they offered less pay and a role two levels below what I interviewed for. When I asked them to honor the role I interviewed for, they admitted that current employees might feel slighted that I was hired into a higher role, but that if I took a low role they could promote me quickly. Essentially, because they did not properly manage expectations with their current employees, they expected me to take a role below my current experience/credentials and pay, in hopes of eventually being promoted into the role I interviewed for. I do not recommend this company.

The interview process started with a recruiter call, then an in-person meeting with three managers. After that, there was a phone screening to figure out the best program fit since there were multiple new contracts. The interviews were challenging but doable. One interviewer was rude and argumentative, possibly trying a good cop/bad cop approach. This interviewer asked about my current salary. After the interviews, I got an offer that was much lower than the standard rate. I tried to negotiate, but the same argumentative interviewer refused. I declined the offer and now work for a company that values equal pay. It was interesting to see how some companies still contribute to the wage gap.

It was a pretty chill conversation where we mostly talked about your real estate background and situations where you had to adapt to change. They also wanted to hear about any projects you took on that boosted profits. They got back to me about 2-3 weeks after the interview.
