I found the position online and received a response within a week. Afterwards, I received an email invitation for a video interview. It is a simple platform showing some questions, which you have to respond while being recorded. The whole process takes about 30-40 minutes to complete. Be aware, the questions are timed so being prepared and fully having an understanding of who you are and what you do is the key. If selected, you are invited to an in-person interview. This will take about 2 hours as your meeting with a group of people from different groups. Then you're told, if decided, they will test your grammar and ms office skills and have a 3rd interview. But as you can image, this is the phase were you may never hear from them again. For such a big firm, decision-making process seems too slow and over complicated. The firm has the resources and human power to go through hiring without such nick-picking habits for administrative staff, but I guess big law, its big law after all.

Why do you want to move on from your current job?
What are your experiences with team work?
What kind of difficulties have you come across?
Pretty straightforward behavioral questions. It was an AI interview, which was unideal and you only have one chance to answer the questions. No offer because I got cut off for one of the questions
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Latham & Watkins (Los Angeles, CA) in Nov 2017
Interview
Multiple Interview Rounds, interviewed by two individuals which were leaders of this team. Questions were mostly personality fit questions and a attempt to convince interviewee that growth was possible. Hiring personnel was easy to talk to and kind. Office seemed quiet and calm.
