I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at McGuireWoods (Richmond, VA)
Interview
The interview process was relatively simple. I interviewed with a partner one-on-one first and then my callback interview was with the entire practice group. It was nice to meet all of the attorneys who I would be working with if I got the position.

Four rounds of interviews ranging from in-person to virtual. Came into the office only once. Overall people seemed prepared for the interview, understood my resume, and were genuinely interested in my experiences.

Question 1
What is something we would know about you only from outside the workplace?
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at McGuireWoods (Richmond, VA) in Feb 2017
Interview
You are first taken into a room with a non-attorney staff member to wait and make small talk. You are then taken into a conference room with about 10 attorneys (I believe all or most of them were partners) for the actual interview. Having that many sets of eyes on you in an interview was intimidating.
