The interview process was super organized, quick, and ran smoothly. The admin staff and recruiters were really friendly. It was a breeze to schedule all the interviews and meetings, and setting up the Zoom calls was no trouble at all. They were pretty open about compensation, which was nice. Whenever I had a question, they got back to me fast and kept me updated on the timeline.

Communication was poor and the process took over 4 months, I would recommend looking elsewhere. The corporate team is fine, but only because of strong leadership. Everyone else at the firm is terrible, and you won't realize it until months later. It was a waste of time and frankly embarrassing for my career and the legal profession. Clients should also avoid this firm.

Behavioral Presentation
The interview journey included an initial screening chat, then a longer, full-round interview with eight people from the team, from support folks to senior partners. They needed my transcript, resume, and writing samples. After the full-round interview, they decided quickly and let me know by phone from the hiring partner.
