I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at White & Case (Boston, MA) in Sep 2021
Interview
Standard big law interview process, the questions you'd expect and have answered before. People seemed nice and fair. As expected, interviewers had a range of experience, some mid-level and senior associates, at least one partner. Had a good interview but didn't get an offer because they didn't end up having the open position after all.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 9 months. I interviewed at White & Case (Madrid) in Feb 2020
Interview
2 Interviews with members of the Madrid office after being referred by a member of the White & Case office in New York. The 2 interviews went really well, and they never said "yes" or "no", they just STOPPED ANSWERING.
I started the interview process in May 2019 to this day in March 2020, no answer from White & Case!

I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at White & Case
Interview
It's was very normal. The questions were mostly all resume and experience related, with a few questions about teamwork skills. There was a phone interview with a partner, and then an in-person panel-type interview with multiple partners. The in-person interview questions were all more, "tell me about yourself" type of questions, and directed towards resume and background, especially relating to the type of work the firm's group does.
I overall enjoyed the experience, and everyone I met was great.
