      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at A&O Shearman (Singapore)

      Interview

      I was lateraling from overseas and used a recruiter to help me arrange interviews. First around was a remote interview with two partners, each for less than 30 minutes. Then I happened to travel to Singapore and met with one of the partners and an associate in the team in person. I also did a written test that took less than 3 hours. Overall smooth experience. Questions were generally not too difficult to answer,
