Interview
The interview lasted for 15 mins, it was a partner and a HR officer. There was no overly difficult questions and the interviewer was quite friendly. Remember to think about why you want to join their firm and the practice area that you are the most interested in. Also, they will ask you to read an article in Mandarin.

What are your biggest strength and biggest weakness?
They invited me to an interview on Zoom. There was a senior partner and an HR with her camera off. The partner was the main person asking me personality-based questions.

Interview
Entire process from application submission to interview outcome day took about a month. 15-20 minute interview. Thought there would be a PTH test for the interview, but that did not come up for me personally. I was interviewed by 2 partners and HR. Everyone was incredibly friendly and it was really chill. Did not directly ask some questions, so it felt like a chat. Asked me about my outside interests from the application form and wanted to learn more about my personal background.
