Working remotely has helped the interview process, was able to complete the interview via zoom.
I interviewed with one partner and one current associate.
Standard interview questions and relaxed atmosphere, which was appreciated
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell us about yourself/ how past work experience would work within the firm/ previous billable hours
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Morrison Mahoney Llp (Parsippany, NJ) in Aug 2023
Interview
There was a single interview on zoom, followed by telephone conversations and emailed and texts going back and forth, there was a conditional offer pending background check, after the background check came back clean, a formal offer, acceptance, start date about two weeks later.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Morrison Mahoney Llp
Interview
I was contacted in response to my application and the attorney (managing partner of the office to which I applied) seemed disorganized. He scheduled the interview and seemed more interested in whether (and who) I knew at the firm. He seemed to only partly listen to my answers. I met with another attorney who told me to make sure I negotiated hard for my salary, the implication being that raises would be miniscule and hard to come by.
There was an underlying sense of confusion and I had a negative gut feeling. I accepted an offer, viewing it as a "necessary evil" to get closer to my end goal; my gut feeling was correct.

The questions were basic; why are you leaving your current job; what is your experience, etc.
