Behavioral
It was a pretty chill interview. We talked about the firm and what I was into. They asked me some standard behavioral questions. The interviewers seemed nice and introduced themselves and the firm before we started. I also had a networking call with someone else on their team after the interview, but I didn't get past the first round.

Okay, so for the DC office gig, the first round was through the college recruiting application, and it was like a 30-minute meeting with a current paralegal, a senior paralegal, and the manager. They were all super nice and genuinely there to help me ask my questions. The second interview was the final one and lasted about 2 hours. I met with the HR recruiter, the chief admin, a partner, and some paralegals. Really great, friendly people. Make sure you come prepared with lots of questions for them, 'cause I ended up doing most of the asking the whole time.

Behavioral
I interviewed with Paul, Weiss via my college. The first round interviews happened at my campus career center. They asked about 5 questions and no follow-ups. Some questions were directly from my resume about my GPA and LSAT score. They asked one behavioral question, and my answer reminded them of another interviewee's answer from that day. They even told me that person's name and their response, which was unprofessional and threw me off. I tried to extend the interview by asking about daily tasks and memorable cases because I could tell it was short, but their answers were vague and uninterested. The whole interview was only 14 minutes. I wasn't asked back for a second interview.
