TLT Associate interview questions

I interviewed with two partners in the London office. The actual interview went well. Started with tea/coffee, they discussed their place in the firm which led into my background. At the end I was advised that the next stage would involve meeting two other partners. This never happened and for nearly two months all I heard was news from the recruiter that I was still being considered. Eventually I pushed enough to get an answer as to whether they would be progressing my application so that HR advised my recruited that I didn't have the requisite FS litigation experience. Very drawn out - I don't think they knew what they where looking for and ended up wasting a lot of mine and their time.
