I interviewed at Simons Muirhead & Burton (London, England)
Interview
Fairly tough and long. Met the head of department only. Discussion was mostly was about what I could add to team with reference to example plus following I had. Interview was circa 2 hours at office.
They were slow to respond, kept re-scheduling and then showed up late. I got the feeling trainees are the lowest priority at the firm, that and also over-hearing the current trainees talking whilst they had lunch.
