      I interviewed at Kirkland & Ellis (Chicago, IL)

      Interview

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Kirkland & Ellis

      Interview

      Ended up going back 4 times , the computer crashed during testing I was hired but not for the job I interviewed for and the attorneys seemed like they didn’t really want to be interrupted during their busy work day. Benefits meetings went really well they are very organized as far as the entry process.
