I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Wilmerhale (Boston, MA)
Interview
I met with two women, someone in HR and someone who is in charge of the project assistants. The first woman was nice and we casually talked about my resume and what I liked to do outside the office. The second was a little more serious. Instead of asking questions, she only asked if I had any.
