It was a really nice interview process. First, there was a quick phone screen with the Director of Paralegals. Then, a 30-minute Zoom chat with the partner for your group. Finally, an interview with about 3 to 4 partners from the law firm. Everyone was super nice and chill.

Behavioral Technical
It was an exhaustive and in-depth phone interview. If you passed that, they invited you for some more in-depth, grueling interviews. They really focus on your experience with venture capital financings. I had one person, who stated it was her last day but she was helping out, ask about my top 5 strengths. I also met with another woman who had tattoos and another whose office was a mess; they asked general questions about my skills and background. Both were part of the management team.
