They want to know your experience and your work. It was very straightforward and the staff were friendly. Please prepare, they will ask a good amount and different types of questions. The first round was with the manager and the second round was with the attorneys.

I had my first call with HR and they said I'd hear back that week about what's next. But then they never got back to me, not even after I emailed them. It's rude to tell a candidate you'll let them know about the next steps if you don't plan on it. At least send a quick email to say you're moving on to other people.

I had an initial conversation with a litigation partner. It was a very casual, professional, and informative discussion. The partner seemed genuinely interested in getting to know me and assessing our mutual fit. I didn't feel any pressure, and actually welcomed the approach. I was invited to continue to the next stages, and I'd suggest others apply.

The first recruiter was nice. The second recruiter who scheduled the interview was also nice. The HR manager conducted a very long interview and was also nice. Then I was ghosted. I followed up and was told they chose another candidate. The job is still posted 2 weeks later. 5 months later, they repost it. I emailed asking to be considered if the position was still open. The posting was removed and I was ghosted again. I feel they could have been more professional.
