I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Baker McKenzie (London, England) in Jan 2015
Interview
What a waste of time. You would think Baker and McKenzie being a global firm they would be more proffessional. Got the interview through a recruitment agency. The first interview was with the HR which went ok and I was then invited to the second interview. Again, I got through and was invited to the third interview with one of the assossiates in the dispute resolution team,who looked as though he had been forced to come to work that day. He didn't prepare any interview questions at all and was asking me a bunch of irrelevant questions. Anyway I got a text message from the recruitment agency a few hrs after the interview informing me that I had got the job and that they were deciding whether to place me on day shift or afternoon shift. Strangely enough, I got another text message the following morning stating I was unsuccessful and was given no feedback. I contacted Baker and Mckenzie regarding feedback and was told someone will call me back but I never get the call back.

I applied online. I interviewed at Baker McKenzie (London, England) in Nov 2024
Interview
Interview process was fine. Mostly asked regular interview questions. However, never heard a word after the interview. It is now 6 weeks later and not even an email to say thank you but no thank you. Disappointed to say the least

Question 1
Experience, how would you add to team, what do you hope to show in your personality etc
Fast and decent process, judged fairly and good communication. First a call with the Head of HR and than in person interviews with the Partners and the rest of the team. This included all associates and assistants and a short show around of the premises.
The timing of the process is longer than expected. The questions are typical for this type of interview, the manager read the questions from a piece of paper. The interview itself didn't last long.
