Very thorough process with two parts, a presentation and then a formal interview with several solicitors. The solicitors were friendly and happy to answer questions about the firm. Tough situational judgment questions involved, unsurprisingly.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Brown Rudnick LLP (New York, NY) in Sept 2025
Interview
The interview process consisted of a video screening with the recruiting manager, then a video interview by the director of FP&A (who I would be reporting to), followed by a video interview with both the Financial Systems manager and director of pricing, and the final round being a video interview with the CFO, Each stage was set up fairly quickly and the Brown Rudnick side was responsive. The interviewers were nice and interested in having a conversation. Each person had their own style and focus points, so it was a good mix of conversations throughout the process. Overall, most of the interviews were not difficult as I had prepped a lot beforehand and the questions that were asked were all pertinent to the role. The CFO was the most difficult out of the interviews, but in hindsight a lot of it her doing her due diligence to ensure I knew what I would be getting into if I received an offer. Everyone was open and honest about the pros and cons of the role and the firm so they did a good job in terms of managing expectations.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
There were many items they asked me. The recruiting manager interview was largely about prior work experience and a general personality-fit interview. The director only had 3-4 main questions that we had in-depth conversations about. One of them being what I could offer to the analysts that I would be managing. Another being the type of manager I want to be and what my philosophy is for that and also how I would want to be managed. The Financial Systems manager and Pricing director interview was a pretty free flowing conversation after going through my background. The CFO asked me about my technical background, specifically SQL, if there ever was a time a stakeholder asked me for information that I did not have, and some others. The overall theme of that conversation was ensuring I was adaptable and resourceful enough to work in an environment where I would have to find creative ways to find data and manipulate it to get the output or analysis I needed.

Interview
My interview process was super comfortable! I applied online and then had an initial call with HR. The second round was with the senior manager, and then the last interview was with an attorney, another assistant, and the lead specialist. Everyone was extremely friendly and engaging and I was always kept in the loop with updates throughout the process. It was definitely a great interview experience and the people really made you feel welcomed.
