I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Jones Day
Interview
Started with a standard 20 minute screening interview. Received an in-office callback interview which consisted of six back to back 30 minute interviews following by a lunch with two senior associates.
I applied online. I interviewed at Jones Day (Dallas, TX) in Jan 2026
Interview
Long interview, 2.5 hours, but good experience and I was able to see the culture. Attire was chill. They got back to me with an offer quickly. Only a week to accept though which is on the lower end. Trying to see whether the firm’s reputation is justified.
