Behavioral
Milbank LLP was super responsive, and the interview process was straightforward. I had a screening call, then heard back for a second round interview after two days. I found out two days after that they decided not to move forward with my application, which was upsetting because it was my top choice. However, everyone was super friendly and it seems like a great work environment.

Technical Behavioral
I applied online and got a call back about 5 days later. The next week, I went in for an interview at the office. It included a written test for grammar, Excel, and word processing skills, followed by behavioral questions from a panel of HR committee members. I met with the HR coordinator and two Legal Assistant Directors. They were friendly, took notes as I spoke, and the interview was quite formal with limited discussion. I received a job offer by phone a few hours after the interview.
