      Staff Position Interview

      Jun 17, 2014
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Chicago, IL
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Kirkland & Ellis (Chicago, IL)

      Interview

      Brief phone interview followed by in-person interviews with HR and several people from the department (hiring manager, department head, peer). The whole process was very positive. Everyone had good things to say about the firm, the department, their jobs and their coworkers. Questions were thorough and challenging but no "trick" questions.
