Great Experience interviewing and excellent hiring managers. I Would recommend this job to new grads and early career individuals. Office is beautiful and people are very friendly. The hiring manager was fair and gauged my experience in working in a high stress environment
I applied, someone from hr responded and scheduled an interview. Then they reached out and scheduled another interview, but messed the time up. They rescheduled and I interviewed again, and then didn't get the job.
Manager phone screens. Then one round in office. Straight resume questions. Meet with manager and two paralegals. Just ask about your interest in law and why you want to work at a law firm/go to law school.
