I had an initial screening interview for a Human Resources Assistant role at Kirkland & Ellis. The conversation itself was professional and seemed to go well, and at the end of the interview I was told I would hear back “early next week.” Unfortunately, I never received any follow-up or update on my application status afterward. I understand firms are busy and not every candidate moves forward, but clearer communication or even a standard rejection email would have been appreciated, especially after taking the time to interview. The experience left me VERY disappointed given the firm's otherwise professional reputation.

In-office interview a couple of days after phone interview. Met with three people from the department. Administrative/proofreading test was required before interview. Overall a pretty standard interview process, but a little stiff/intimidating if you're not used to such a large company.
