Very quick and efficient, interviewed and was extended the offer the next day. They moved very quickly and were flexible with my start date. Overall, I was very impressed with the process.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Ropes & Gray (Boston, MA) in Sep 2021
Interview
The interview process was long. I was able to meet/speak via zoom with various folks in the marketing department ranging from different roles. I did notice lack of diversity in leadership and overall within the BD team. I was hoping there would be people of color within the group; but I wrong. Everyone was nice and most of the team members had longevity at Ropes; which is a plus.
The HR person notified me and said my experience is too heavy in the proposal process and wanted someone with more strategy expertise. The takeaway I had is they want you to come into this role having work experience in all areas.
