HR interview was pretty standard easily anticipated questions: why HGF, why this profession, what do you think a patent attorney's main responsibilities are, are you aware how much training and studying is required for qualification, bla bla. 2nd Interview with HR and partners was more technical, questions about my degree and research, asked to explain technical concepts simply as though talking to a layperson, given 2 exercises - one about patentability of various objects in view of prior art, one a written exercise. 3rd interview was pretty pointless. I was just asked similar questions to the HR style questions before like why they should choose me again. Lasted only 10-15 minutes
