I had a screener interview with a member of Human Resources. 30 minute virtual interview. Received the rejection via email within a couple days. It was a pretty standard interview format, with a focus on questions about what I knew about the firm and why they should hire me specifically. The interviewer was friendly.
I applied online. I interviewed at Edelson (Chicago, IL)
Interview
Interview process was a fairly basic 20-30 minute Zoom conversation with an individual from their HR department. The questions were reasonably straightforward mostly asking about my specific interest in the firm and walking through my resume. It seemed like they were particularly looking to ensure that I was interested and did significant research re firm. There were a few times throughout the interview where the interviewer seemed to not be paying attention or was communicating with someone off screen, but overall a fair and straightforward interview.
