I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Sullivan & Cromwell (New York, NY) in Jan 2020
Interview
First interview over the phone, second interview was 3 hours long in person. HR recruiter interviews you, then a legal assistant, then the head of the legal assistants, then an actual lawyer. Found the head of the legal assistants to be quite condescending.
I applied online. I interviewed at Sullivan & Cromwell
Interview
Pretty straightforward behavioral interview, nothing unexpected. They let you meet with 4 or 5 people across the department, and it's all pretty standard. Hosted over Zoom this year as expected.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How will this position fit into your long-term goals?
It went very well. Everyone was very gracious and it seems like they all love working at this firm. The people interviewing me were very nice as well, and I left feeling confident.
They reached out for a brief phone interview, and then in two weeks I went in for an in-person interview for approximately two and a half hours. Overall, everyone was friendly and they seemed genuinely interested in me as an applicant, asking about my experiences and hobbies, and why I think I'd be a good fit for the role.
