I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at William Blair in Nov 2015
Interview
First Round Interview with jerk MD, he made fun of where I grew up and the high school I went to. He proceeded to belittle my experience. I was incredibly disappointed. It honestly made me not want to work for the firm anymore. He was anathema to everyone else I encountered there.
