Interviewed Feb 2011 (took 3 weeks)

Applied online and did some personality and numerical tests. Got through to second round of phone interview. Interviewer asked questions very specific to the competencies listed on the website, e.g. leadership, team working skills, conflicts. Almost like checking off a list of them. Also asked about current affairs which you think may affect the industry you're applying for that expect a more in depth discussion. Lasted close to an hour, friendly overall.

Interviewed Nov 2011 in Detroit, MI (took 2 days)

After completing the intitial phone interview they brought me in for the office visit. The office visit was a great experience. There were three interviews that I went through. The first one was with a partner, the second was a manager, and the thrid was with a newer associate. All of the interviews consisted of 2 or 3 behavioral questions and the rest of it was just general conversation about my resume and what i would be doing if I was hired. Overall it was one of the better interview experiences iv ever had.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in Peoria, IL (took a day)

interviewed with 5 people, including 1 partner. Everyone was super nice and really helped me to calm down and feel comfortable. Even though I talked to 5 interviewers and it was pretty intense talking...it was a really casual setting and we had pleasant conversations. Overall a very positive experience.
