Question 1
How did you decide to pursue a career in law?
Why are you interested in DLA Piper?
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at DLA Piper (New York, NY) in Jul 2024
Interview
Received an invitation for an online interview where it’s pre-recorded questions you answer. This is always a red flag for me. It’s such an awkward format that doesn’t allow you to really get to know the company or them to get to know you. Wish companies would do away with these! I want to get to know your culture. If a pre-recorded BOT isn’t how you would describe your culture then maybe don’t use them for interviews.

Online video interview - it was 4 questions, relatively ok! They gave you around 60 seconds to prep once the question appears and then you have a fixed time for response.
