I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Kirkland & Ellis (New York, NY) in Feb 2021
Interview
I was interviewed by 4 different people, and each interview lasted half an hour. All the interviewers were very nice. The question focused on my prior experience and the reasons why I was interviewing for the position.
Easy process, no hard questions, very conversational but not much real substance to the process. Hard to judge how you did based off the interview. Very little even behavioral questions were asked.
The interview was easy, three attorneys, two partners and one associate. Not super formal and did not ask much about specific knowledge of corporate or transactional work. Overall, the interview was easy.
Done through law school. Did not feel rigid. Was conversational. Mostly about connecting and ensuring we had a good relationship. Nothing technical or even remotely technical. Then had a follow up.
