I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Baker McKenzie (Tokio) in Oct 2020
Interview
The interview starts with a young associate, and he/she usually gives you what kind of questions you need to be prepared. After that, there are a couple of interview sessions with the partners, usually 2 or 3 rounds if I remember correctly.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
- Why are you interested in the firm?
- Which area are you interested in?
the interview process was well structured, the interviewers were respectful. I wouldn't say it was difficult, yet I had to be well prepared. I was asked questions of my experience and laws of Kazakhstan
For a position as a young lawyer, I was asked about my previous experience that I gained while working as an intern for other law firms, specifically related to the field I was applying for.

Question 1
What were your responsibilities in your previous internships?
Horrible interview, My Partner was on a power trip and was rude. Traumatising experience- never again Unfair interview process as well, all applicants asked different questions so it was inequitable. Also got the vibe that the firm lacked diversity and just pretended to care about diversity but really did not.
