Interview
The interview starts off with a phone call. You speak with someone from HR and they will ask you certain questions pertaining to your experience. Then the next round is with the Litigation Manager, this interview is also pretty straightforward. After this, you will maybe have two more rounds of interviews with associates and partners. Very disappointing to me how after four rounds of interviews this firm doesn’t even update you that you won't receive an offer. Total waste of time.
