I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Cadwalader Wickersham (London, England) in Mar 2015
Interview
Arranged quickly, efficient HR process. The partners conducting the interview were clearly distracted/busy with work and looked at their phones throughout, but were friendly. I guess that's a realistic insight into what working there is like though.

Question 1
Typical stuff about my previous experience, a few scenario based questions, then half the interview they talked about themselves and their work.
I applied through college or university. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Cadwalader Wickersham (New York, NY) in Jul 2015
Interview
The interview was set up by my school. It was a brief twenty five or thirty minute interview. I was interviewed by a relatively new associate from the firm. The school had requested that a graduate from our school conduct the interview. This particular interview was similar to a speed date in the sense that it was a really basic interview with the objective of just getting to know the candidate.
