pretty straightforward, 3 rounds and met different levels of people starting with HR. advice is to be very personable and be ready to ask questions as not many were prepared by the people running the interview.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Orrick (Menlo Park, CA)
Interview
Interviewed by staff and attorneys. Fair questioning process and everybody is very friendly. They make sure that you meet everybody you would potentially work with. Everything seems very harmonic amongst each other. Not sure if that is just show but it seemed real.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Orrick (New York, NY) in Feb 2013
Interview
Two rounds of interviews - one with associates, one with partners. Also met with HR. Very relaxed, as Orrick is known for its less corporate culture. In total, I believe I met with five associates, three partners, and three people from HR - all of whom were extremely nice. Be prepared going into the interviews to know exactly why you want to work as a paralegal and why you want to work at Orrick.
