Interviewed May 2010 in San Francisco, CA (took 3 weeks)
I attended a career fair at my university, introduced myself to one of the recruiters, and gave a brief description about the career goals I have and the skill sets I possessed at the time. The next day after the recruiter contacted me to schedule a brief 30 minute phone interview. After the 30 minute phone interview I was then contacted and asked approximately a week later to interview at the San Francisco Office. The interview was a round robin interview consisting of individual interviews with 5 different staff members for 10-15 minutes. Each one of the staff members were very friendly and personable so interviewing with them was a pleasant experience. After this interview, I was then asked to come in for the final round interview in which I would meet with the individual who were to be my supervisor should I have gotten hired. After the last interview I was notified about a week later and a half later that I did not receive the offer. The recruiter informed me that the decision was difficult and was sincerely remorseful.
Overall I had a good experience interviewing with Kirkland and Ellis. Everyone, including the receptionist were very professional yet personable at the same time. They are genuinely interested in finding out whether or not you will be a good fit for them and vice versa. I would recommend you go into the interview having thoroughly researched as much about the firm as possible and be prepared!!!!!!!!

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Los Angeles, CA (took a day)
3 people took part in my interview. The HR manager and 2 senior project assistants. They were all very nice and interested in how working at Kirkland and Ellis would fit into my career goals. Unfortunately some of their larger cases settled so they could no longer offer me a position. I did appreciate that they actually got back to you when you followed up with them.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in Chicago, IL (took a day)
Basic screening interview. Traditional "why us", "why did you go to law school", "tell us about a leadership experience"
Interviewer didn't seem interested in talking much about the firm. Sort of strange was not selling the firm much. Interview did last longer than expected in part because of follow up questions. Interviewer did seem engaged just not focused on selling why the firm was a good fit.
