Not a good experience. My initial thoughts were that the firm had a good culture, but the interviewers were unfriendly. They asked a lot of specific questions about that particular area of law, which they knew I had no experience in. When I asked about the benefits of working there, they said 'cake'.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked many detailed questions related to the role. It was very interrogative.
Online application with CV followed by one short interview at the head offices with the partners I would be working most closely with. The interview was casual and just involved discussing my CV and the job requirements and responsibility.

Question 1
They asked me what I knew about and if I was interested in the practice area.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Mills Oakley Lawyers (Brisbane) in Feb 2023
Interview
Very standard interview process. First I had an interview with the Partner and Senior Associate from the team to cover my past experience, then an interview with the office manager to cover the logistics.
