I applied through university. I interviewed at Morgan Lewis (Chicago, IL) in Aug 2022
Interview
Very kind interviewer, standard questions in all OCI interviews. First interview was with one partner and the callback was with a panel. Make sure to do research for the firm ahead of time and understand the culture.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why Morgan Lewis? What do you know about the firm?
1 20/30 min screener call and then the callback was 5 30 min interviews and each had a theme that asked behavioral questions targeted at that theme and then left a few minutes for questions at the end.
This was for an initial screening interview for a Summer Associate position. The interview was quick and informal, with one associate and only lasting about 30 minutes. The first half was general questions about my background, interest in the firm, and some general information about the summer associate program.
Asked questions about normal things, very friendly, 4 rounds with different people of 30 minutes each; a little disorganized with the actual running of the interviews, but engaging people. Ranged from partners to early associates who gave different perspectives; some were more conversational than others.
