J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Ropes & Gray (New York, NY) en févr. 2019
Entretien
I applied through the firm's webpage and a few days later had a phone interview screen with HR. A week later I interviewed in person at the firm with two paralegals, the supervisor, and the manager. Everything felt really impersonal and rushed; jumped right into questions. All of their questions were failure-oriented (rather then how you've had success working in teams) and their demeanors really turned me off to wanting to work there, whether they offered me the job or not.

That deadline submission hypo.

Entretien
Talked with a lot of interesting people. Most were very open and conversational creating a more relaxed interview atmosphere. One just had a set of questions with not much conversation. All interviews were via zoom, overall good experience.

What would you do if you had something really important going on after work and you were asked to work after hours?

The interview process was fairly streamlined- beginning with a phone screen and moving to an in-person interview in the Boston office (which only took about a week to schedule). Everything was on time and the interviewers were nice and well-prepared. Seemed like it was mostly for fit over anything else. I thought that the in-person interview went well, then I didn't hear back for 6 weeks. I sent several follow-up emails and even called the office in an attempt to get an answer. Upon finally hearing that I did not get the offer, I sent a follow-up email to one of my interviewers for feedback. I didn't hear anything from him. After taking a full day off from work to come interview in the office, I found that the hiring process with Ropes was incredibly disrespectful to the applicant. If this is a reflection of how they treat employees, I'm glad I didn't get an offer.
The first step was a phone call, lasted about 20 minutes, felt rushed by the interviewer. The interviewer told me at the beginning that it would be brief, but there were only a handful of questions asked and I felt as though I did not have the time or platform to present myself fully and accurately.
