I was contacted two weeks after submitting my application. They asked me to do a video interview and completed competency tests. This was BY FAR the worst interview process I have ever endured. The video interview process does exactly what one other reviewer perfectly said- it takes the 'human' out of Human Resources. There was not enough time to prep (30 seconds), and you were unable to correct yourselves or ask questions about the company. A job interview is also about interviewing the company to see if its a good fit! The tests took around 3 hours- very very tedious, but not overly difficult. I would implore DLA Piper to take the time to AT LEASt offer a phone screening and get to know the people interested in working for you! Video interviews are almost always a terrible idea (especially if you're just recording yourself, and there is no one to speak to or clarify anything).

Several rounds of interviews within a few hours. First met with paralegal team, then with associates, then with partners. Everyone was extremely laid back and nice. The partners weren’t intimidating and nobody grilled me with tricky questions. Very much just a conversation of why I was interested in the position and my previous background.
