Overall quite good! Interviewers are quite friendly and professional. They are willing to answer questions and clarify my doubts at the end of the interview. Additionally, HR are quite responsive in sending out and replying emails
The interviewer was a HR consultant who asked several standard questions. The process was not interesting but was better than other firms' virtual interview requiring candidates to talk to a machine.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Linklaters (Shanghai, Shanghai) in Nov 2023
Interview
There are 3 rounds of interview, including one written test, one hr interview and one m&a interview. The written test is not diffficult and contains no law-related questions. Hr interview is easy too, containing some behavior questions and no technical questions. It is more like an English proficiency assessment. The M&A interview is quite difficult. They will ask technical questions related to your past experience. Then there will be a case analysis, which is not mentioned in most experience sharing posts on Chinese social media.
