There was an initial phone screen with a recruiter that lasted about 15 minutes. Then there was then a short proofreading exam. I heard back about three weeks later about the second round. The second round was two separate interviews with people in the department. Heard back within 24 hours

I applied online, received an email of interest within two weeks, and then had a 3 person interview with senior paralegals at the office. The interview was conducted over zoom and each lasted about 20 minutes - very conversational
Interview questions [1]

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Kirkland & Ellis (Chicago, IL)
Interview
Proofreading test, phone screen, and in-person interview with about 7 employees. They all immediately asked me if I had any questions and continued asking me if I had questions. Obviously you never say you have no questions, so I asked a ton. They barely asked me anything about myself and spent the whole hour answering what I asked and talking about how hard the position is and working at Kirkland.
