I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Freshfields (Berlín)
Interview
Sehr angenehm, allein mit dem Partner, Gespräch war nett und ohne Stressfragen. Es ging, glaube ich, mehr um die zwischenmenschliche Chemie. Vor dem Gespräch (Tage vorher) fand ein Test statt (Phonodiktat in englischer Sprache), den ich wohl ganz gut bewältigt habe. Daraufhin hat man mich zum Vorstellungsgespräch mit dem Partner eingeladen. Ging alles ziemlich schnell danach - wurde engagiert.

Interview
Pre-interview test online - verbal reasoning.
Written assessment - correcting a letter and answering questions on it.

One interview on a FT article I had been given time to prepare. Questions were related to the article and the article was used as a springboard for further discussion.
