Interview
Contacted a friend who was already working here and sent in my resume. I was contacted by the HR hiring manager within a few days. I went in and underwent three separate interviews. The first was conducted by the hiring manager, the second, by the head paralegal manager, and the third, by the paralegal who was to be my future immediate supervisor. All three interviews went smoothly. By the time I made it to the third one, I was mostly being explained my future job duties and introduced to my future teammates. A simple background check, no drug test, was conducted, and I was emailed a formal job offer within a week. Tip: Respond to emails ASAP as this is something that is very highly stressed in this company.

Interview
The interview process was thorough and involved five rounds over approximately two month. I interviewed with Talent Acquisition, the Manager of Paralegal Services, several Project Assistants and a Paralegal, as well as multiple senior associates and partners. Each interviewer was professional and welcoming, and I appreciated the time they took to speak with me.
However, after completing the final round and sending multiple follow-up emails, I did not receive any communication regarding a final decision or any decision at all. The lack of closure after an extensive, multi-stage process was disappointing. Candidates invest significant time and preparation into interviews, and timely communication, even a brief update, would have been appreciated.

Interview
Applied online and was emailed to schedule a phone interview a few days later. The HR person I talked to was very friendly and made the whole process great! She told me at the beginning to let her know if I received any offers or needed the process sped up. After the phone interview, which felt more like a conversation, she sent a follow-up email a few days later to schedule a video interview as I was across the country. It was 2 hours long and I met with several HR people, paralegals, and Project Assistants. At the end, I told her I had a competing offer and asked to speed up the process. We moved onto 3rd round the same week where I met with several Partners who I would work under. Again, everyone was very friendly. The final interview was on Friday and I received an offer letter the following Monday. The process lasted about 3 weeks, though feedback from my HR person was almost immediate.
