I interviewed at Dentons Kensington Swan (Auckland, Auckland)
Interview
Usual law interview process. 1st step was 1 way online interview, then we had a 45 minute zoom interview with two partners followed by a meet the firm experience where we got to interact with some solicitors.
Had a super chill interview here, but the vibe was kind of off. The interviewer seemed really eager, almost too much, which felt a bit desperate. At the open day, it didn't seem like the presenters were into their roles. It didn’t really feel genuine, also they made us build bikes which ended up wasting my entire day as I had to fly up to Auckland for this. Ended up going with an offer from a Big 3 instead
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell us about a legal news story that is of interest to you?
Very personable and easygoing, but they ask you so many questions that put you on the spot. They ask a lot about your prior experience and what you know about the firm. There are three people intervewing you.
