Initial screener, followed by a call back with several partners and several associates. Fairly standard as far as law firm interviews go. The length of the screening interviews, and the callback interview is not the similar to other firms.
Really drawn out- straight to callback but had to wait a while to get the interview scheduled. Had the interview and it has been a month since then with no further information. This is the case with many people. I think in 2025-26 they are unsure on how to approach the hiring cycle.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
why their firm, obviously. Resume specific stuff too
I applied online. I interviewed at Ropes & Gray (New York, NY) in Jan 2026
Interview
Four interviewers, very conversational and causal. Have a Why Ropes? ready. Also have questions for the interviewers, I found that they spoke for about 75% of the time. Overall, very relaxed experience.
Really conversational and focused on the resume. Some behavior questions, but really easy to answer. The interviewer is the partner, and she is super nice. 20-min OCI interview, really normal and general.
