Cravath Swaine Interview Questions

Application

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Cravath Swaine (New York, NY).

Interview

I was invited to meet one of the partners at the main office of the law firm in New York City. We discussed for approximately thirty minutes about my background and my areas of specialization.

Interview

Four parts: the first with the HR Recruiter, the second with the relevant legal assistant manager, the third with a current legal assistant, and the last with a current paralegal.

Interview

Positive experience. Folks were very friendly and seemed most interested in team oriented experiences, previous roles, and willingness to work in an intense/long hours environment. Spoke to three different folks and took a brief proofreading test beforehand. Not super intensive and really seems geared toward identifying your ability to pay attention to detail and pick out glaring errors.

Easy interviews, definitely trying to scare you/psych you out in terms of working long hours. Everyone was really nice and straightforward. However, they seem to definitely be looking for people with some kind of legal internship/professional experience.

It was ok, not too much related to the ETL but reporting tools and experience is more required. difficulty: average, no tricky questions, asked about the salary expectation, if you looking for a place good for your technical growth. it might not be a good fit.

Application

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Cravath Swaine (New York, NY) in March 2019.

Interview

Had initial screening phone call in the middle of February, interviewed in march and was emailed about results almost 2 weeks after interview. Interviewed for 4 hours with 6 different people but each experience will be different depending on availability of litigation team. What I do wish they did differently was tell me earlier that they did not want to hire instead of making me wait 2 weeks to hear back from anyone. The initial wait time was one week maximum to hear results.
