J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 1 jour. J'ai passé un entretien chez Mayer Brown (Londres, Angleterre) en févr. 2016
Entretien
Assessment day. Group task involving a presentation with challenging questions by partners at the end. A fact finding exercise where you have 15 minutes to ask questions to help you give a client advice. A written exercise summarising an article and an accuracy test. Finally, quite a difficult interview with questions that you just cannot prepare for.

Question 1
Who is the most influential person in the 20th/ 21st century?
The telephone interview was simple and involved core competency based questions. The AC was a very enjoyable and engaging experience, and required a case study presentation to a bunch of hypothetical clients, a partner interview which was 30 mins roughly and a commercial awareness exercise. The exercise involved receiving details about two companies and recommending the more appropriate acquisition target.
