A pre-interview test must first be taken and passed before qualifying for the actual interview. The actual interview was only one stage - it was smooth and professional with a quick turnaround. It was a good conversation that allowed me to ask all my questions.

The interview process was long and tedious. I had at least four interview. My first interview was an over the phone screen, next I met with the immediate manager - a week later, then two weeks following met with a peer and the director and finally I met with the practice group- a week after. During the time of my interview process, there were many miscommunications by the HR team at DLA Piper and myself. Other recruiters "worked" with me scheduling times ie. finding and confirming my availability. At least one interview was scheduled and cancelled without notification from the recruiting staff. The recruiter referenced emails that were never sent to me by her staff in between my second and third interviews. I only found out about the interview because I called to find out why I had not received confirmation when I was told I would have dates set. After making it through three rounds of interviews, I had conversations with the recruiter who I had been working with for the past month and was told that the manager wanted to talk me through my final interview. I spoke with the manager and my final interview was scheduled for the same week. I was scheduled to meet with three people from the practice group but my first interviewer did not show up nor did my recruiter follow up with me during my wait about the missed interview. After waiting for over 45 minutes, I interviewed with someone else from the practice group then the final interviewer came and sat in and joined our interview. It was not until my fourth interview was a writing sample or anything to speak to my ability requested. I sent a thank you letter and my writing sample to the recruiter. I never heard back from anyone from DLA Piper. I contacted the recruiter two times without a response. After going two weeks without getting a response, I contacted the recruiter once again. She finally responded telling me that she had left me a voicemail. I never received a voicemail and the recruiter never sent me anything. After two months of interviewing, it would have been nice to at least get some feedback.
