I applied direct. They scheduled one on one interviews with partners, and it was supposed to be about a 30 min interview. The second round is getting to know the office and the people in it. They are willing to work with your schedule and are quick to respond to you.

Self online video interview with 5 questions. They send you a textbox of question and you're instructed to record a video of yourself answering the question. It's untimed and you have multiple opportunities to redo the video. 30 minutes listening to the Partner advertise the firm. People then get divided into two groups. 1 Group then splits individually and goes to 2, 20 minute back to back interviews with the manager and director. The other group all sits in a Q&A panel where they ask free for all questions to current associates. Then, the group that initially did the Q&A swap places with the other group and do the 1 on 1 interviews with the manager and director. Afterwards, all of the people involved go to a lunch at the local restaurant. Interview went nicely with no pressure whatsoever. The interviewers asked mostly behavioral questions and it was more of a conversation rather than an interview. They ask a few questions initially and then afterwards leaves the rest of the time for you to ask questions to the interviewer. Only problem I have is that they tell us they will contact us about the status of the interview, but they never did which is frustrating.
