Interview
For the spring recruiting cycle, there were 3 rounds of interviews if I am correct. I didn't make it past the first round, but it was a pretty basic initial interview with one of the paralegal managers and someone from the e-Discovery department. I believe the interviews would have been with people the role would interact with more as one progressed in the rounds.
