I applied online. I interviewed at DLA Piper (Washington, DC)
Interview
The interview was a digital interview. It was pretty easy as it seemed like a normal phone interview that you may have with a recruiter. There were a total of 7 questions and you were given 30 seconds to prepare for each question. Once you have completed the digital interview you were sent a link to complete an online assessment. This skills assessment takes about 2-3 hours to complete as it analyzes your skill level.

Question 1
During the interview they ask you to explain why you are the best candidate for the job (as most companies do.)
The interview was a digital interview. It was very awkward because I essentially was recording myself answering questions. It felt very disjointed and strange because there was no normal conversation flow as you would find in a normal phone for face to face interview. They give you 30 seconds to prep between each question asked.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at DLA Piper (Chicago, IL)
Interview
I had a short screening interview, and a second interview with the person I would directly report to. I was then offered the job on the spot. There was no job description, which proved to be a problem once I became an employee.
