Question 1
Basic Interview Questions, nothing crazy or weird. I did have an extremely open ended prompt and I was told what they wanted from a summer associate. I spent most of the interview just answering that question.
I applied on LinkedIn and was invited to a 30 minute virtual interview with the hiring manager. The questions were straightforward and she was friendly. She encouraged me to ask more questions towards the end. After a week, they let me know that they were not moving forward with me. I reached out for feedback and didn’t receive any.
