HR reached out to set up the interview using an online scheduling tool. The confirmation email mentioned it would be on Teams. Two attorneys from the CIU conducted the interview. It was very casual and friendly. They didn't seem to have specific questions ready and didn't ask many of the things I was expecting.

I submitted an application online and then had some email exchanges with a really nice HR person. I was kind of expecting to meet with that HR person, but instead, I ended up meeting with two judges who are no longer on the bench. There were some interesting power dynamics happening. It was a cold 2-on-1 interview.

The hiring process started with a pre-screen phone interview, followed by a detailed interview with an Assistant District Attorney (ADA). The entire process was completed within a week. It was a very efficient hiring experience. The HR team seemed well-equipped to handle a large number of applications, and the ADA I spoke with was very professional.
