I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Kirkland & Ellis (Washington, DC) in Jun 2017
Interview
Standard - Initial interview followed by callbacks with multiple partners and associates. D.C. office, you meet with each interviewer in his or her office and then get walked to the next one.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Standard questions for callbacks. Associates assessing whether they can work with you. Partners assessing if you're like them.
Easy process, no hard questions, very conversational but not much real substance to the process. Hard to judge how you did based off the interview. Very little even behavioral questions were asked.
The interview was easy, three attorneys, two partners and one associate. Not super formal and did not ask much about specific knowledge of corporate or transactional work. Overall, the interview was easy.
Done through law school. Did not feel rigid. Was conversational. Mostly about connecting and ensuring we had a good relationship. Nothing technical or even remotely technical. Then had a follow up.
