I had my second interview on July 25th. They took down the job posting and then never got back to me to let me know they went with another candidate. Just a heads up for Wachtell Lipton, ghosting candidates doesn't reflect well on you.

Behavioral Technical
The interview started with an HR phone screen, followed by a technical interview with two team members. I didn't get to speak with the hiring manager. The initial phone screen was standard, conducted via Zoom, but they asked some questions that seemed like red flags. I suspect this role has been open for a while because they're struggling to find someone willing to be overworked. The technical part was also on Zoom and felt pretty easy compared to other interviews I've had.

Behavioral
The interview process was good. I scored well on the testing. The working environment seemed pleasant. They treat everyone with respect, from the mailroom staff to the partners. It's a professional environment with nice people, and it sounds like a great job. The Senior Partners treat all employees with the same respect, no matter their position. The attorneys there are well-respected, well-groomed, and high-powered. Overall, it seems like a great working environment.

I found the job opening on the company's website and then got a call about an interview in New York. The official interview was pretty short, maybe 20 min, and the coordinator had some of the paralegals introduce themselves. But then there was this other, more casual part that went on for about an hour, so it ended up being way longer than I thought it would be.
