      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Mayer Brown (New York, NY) in Sep 2015

      Interview

      Submitted my resume and cover letter online; telephone interview about two weeks later; attended first round interview one week after phone interview; attended second round interview one week after first round interview. Total length of process: ~4 weeks My telephone interview was with an HR rep. My first round interview was with the person who oversaw the position. Her questions were much more skill-based. My second round interview was with the lawyers with whom I would work. Their questions were much more focused on my personality and work style.
