First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Carr Allison.
Summer Associate
I was interviewed by the firm when they visited my law school. The interview was brief, lasting only 15-20 minutes. The attorney was really nice and asked some straightforward questions to get to know me.
- What do you hope to gain from this summer program?
Paralegal
They gave me a copy of their benefits package, which included health insurance, PTO policies, and bonus policies. I thought it was a joke. They also wanted to run my credit, which I declined. The benefits offered were: a 401k with no employer match, long-term disability insurance (where your salary increased by the premium amount and then was deducted from your pay), $1,000 a month for family health insurance with a $200 deductible for prescriptions each year, and no dental or vision coverage. Sick leave was 8 hours a month from January to November, with no sick leave earned in December, and a carryover max of 480 hours. Vacation was 1/2 day a month from January to October, with no vacation earned in November or December. For the first 7 years of service, you earned 1 day a month from January to October, and after 8 years, you earned 1.5 days a month. Vacation time had to be taken in 1/2 day or whole day increments, so you couldn't just take a couple of hours off for something. They offered 1 personal day a year after you had been there for 3 years. Any time off without pay meant you wouldn't be eligible for a raise. Christmas bonuses were only 1-3 weeks pay based on length of employment, not performance, and you had to bill 1660 hours a year to be eligible for your raise and bonus. This works out to a minimum of 36 billable hours every week if you account for sick leave, vacation time, and state holidays.
- What is your earliest possible start date?
Attorney
the interview was pretty simple, I talked to the recruiter and a partner. They told me about the company benefits, pay, how the work life balance is, the typical schedule, and what it's like to work there.
- Can you tell me about your previous work experience?
Summer Associate
The interview process was pretty standard for most firms. They'll ask about your interest in litigation, what drew you to their specific firm, and your preferred office location.
- What is your desired work location?
- Which location do you wish to work at?
