Behavioral

It was a simple video-chat interview, 20 minutes long, with just a partner and me. They asked 'tell me about yourself' and it generally flowed from there. No specific behavioral questions were asked. The partner and I both went to the same undergrad and law school, so we spent a lot of time chatting collegially about football. I got rejected the next day.

Super quick and smooth process, the HR person was great and then I met with a couple of senior partners. They asked me some technical questions and about my motivations. Got an email back pretty fast. Overall, a good experience.

Went through an on-campus interview, then a callback at the office with four associates. After that, there was dinner and drinks with two associates. It was a great experience overall, with good vibes, but I didn't get an offer and don't know why.
