The interview felt more like a deep chat than a strict test. They weren't just checking your legal knowledge but wanted to see how you think, if you'd fit in with the team, and how you'd work with them as a colleague. It was friendly, but they were definitely evaluating you.

The interview process was fine. Mostly asked regular interview questions. However, never heard a word after the interview. It is now 6 weeks later and not even an email to say thank you but no thank you. Disappointed to say the least.
