Case Behavioral
It was a pretty standard process. Started with a phone interview, then I was invited to the office for a multi-hour interview where I met a bunch of people, including one of the owners. Everyone was really open and honest, and we had a good time talking. I even went to lunch with some peers, which was great. The case study wasn't too difficult. All in all, it was standard stuff with some fun thrown in.

Behavioral Case Presentation
I applied online. They reached out via email expressing interest in a phone interview. I spoke with the recruiting director for about 30 minutes and then was invited to interview at their Chicago headquarters. At HQ, I met with five people, from Analyst to Director level. They were all very nice and not expecting deep IP damages litigation knowledge, focusing instead on how I think and if I'd be a good fit. They mentioned that if you're in the interview, you're likely smart enough. The process included a case study at the end where I had to use different methods to calculate damages, which wasn't too difficult if you're comfortable with financial statements. I got the offer the next day over the phone.
