Initially, I was excited because I received a call from the HR dept immediately after I applied for the position online. However, the entire process became lengthy. After the brief telephone interview, I was asked to come in for a testing interview. The appointment was within a week and I passed the administrative tests. The HR rep was very personable and friendly. Later that day I was called to come back for a panel interview. This interview consisted of 3 people from the legal department. This panel interview lasted for approx. 2 hours. Each person took turns asking me about my experiences, strengths and weaknesses. Afterwards, I was called back for a brief 3rd interview with the Lead Counsel. After meeting him I was given a short tour of the firm. I eventually waited 3 to 4 months for a decision on whether I would be hired or not. The friendly HR rep called to let me know that the job was given to someone else. She also informed me that I was a strong contender and they liked that I had plenty of legal experience, but they decided to go with someone who had more managing experience.
