After getting past the initial online application, I had to do pre-recorded video interviews. There were five questions in total. The first four were situational, where I had to look at fake emails and video calls and then say how I would handle things. The last question was asking about my interest in Clyde&Co.

This company's hiring process is a mess. Recruiters didn't even know how long the job ad had been up and asked me for the info. There was no clear timeline for hiring at any point, even after several interviews. I followed up multiple times and got ignored. It's wild that companies still ghost candidates in 2025. This process is unclear, slow, and unprofessional.

The interview was conducted over Teams with the department partners. I felt condescended to and patronized because I'm a young woman and they are older men. They immediately criticized me and made me feel like I wasn't a serious candidate, wasting my time. Even though I have 7 years of senior-level experience in the exact same specific case types as the role I applied for, they said it was irrelevant and didn't matter. They found fault with every technical question I answered correctly. At the end, I told them to remove me from consideration since it was obvious I wouldn't be chosen and that wasting an hour of my workday was offensive, especially them dismissing my award-winning experience. They responded with embarrassed laughs, calling it banter and gaslighting me into thinking it was normal. This was the most bullying interview experience I've ever had, and I won't apply to Clyde&Co again.

The interview was held virtually and was a positive experience. The interviewers were knowledgeable and open about the job expectations and the firm's atmosphere. They mentioned that the firm operates on a hybrid schedule, requiring three days in the office. It was not clear which department needed an additional attorney, and it seemed unlikely that either interviewer would be the direct supervisor for this position. I sent a follow-up thank you email to both individuals, but I haven't received any communication from them or the firm since.
