I applied online. I interviewed at Arnold & Porter (Washington, DC) in Feb 2026
Interview
Received correspondence within a week after applying. I was asked to take ~3 hours worth of tests based on Microsoft Office/typing/grammar. After passing the test was then asked to schedule an interview with HR. Heard over a month after the interview that I wasn’t chosen for the position.
You’ll get a call from HR, then the director/ manager of the team you’ll work for, maybe more interviews with fellow team members, and potentially meet with attorneys from the group you’ll support.
