The interview process was great, with nice partners. It offered a good variety of input and gave me a solid insight into what the work would entail. I also got to chat with associates to hear their takes on work-life balance.

I was called from the area I applied to, I attended the interview, the lawyer said he would call me back soon with the area where he considered my profile suitable to fulfill. However, after 2 weeks I called his office and his assistant told me he was out of Mexico, I looked for him two more times and I had a response from him once that he was very busy and would contact me shortly, the reality is that he never contacted me again.

Confirmed questions1 question
