The entire interview experience was friendly and welcoming. Recruiters made sure I felt comfortable and knew what to expect. I moved through several rooms and talked with two lawyers in each. In total, I spoke with about 12 people. The whole thing took a few hours.

The interview process involved two interviews. First, there was a brief screening, followed by a callback interview with four attorneys. These attorneys were all partners, and they were very friendly and easy to talk to. The interview took place at their office in Baltimore.

It was a pretty standard interview process. Everyone I spoke with was professional and seemed nice, and I initially felt good about the firm regardless of the outcome. However, my positive feelings faded as I waited for nearly six weeks without any updates. When I finally received a form rejection, I wasn't shocked, but I was annoyed that it took them so long to respond. I understand rejections are part of the process, but when a candidate takes a day off from work to interview and then gets ghosted, it reflects poorly on the firm's professionalism. I wouldn't recommend this firm to clients or colleagues based on this experience. How a firm treats candidates shows its culture, and this firm needs to improve its culture.
