J'ai postulé via un établissement d'enseignement supérieur ou universitaire. Le processus a pris 2 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez Ropes & Gray
Entretien
First round at school (general questions, why law, why this firm) with a patent analysis. Second round at firm with 6-8 attorneys and lunch. Each round at the firm is 30 min with 10 min of asking you questions and 20 min of you asking them questions. The interview process was fine but hearing back took several months and I felt strung along.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
What is this patent trying to claim? Why law? Why this firm? Explain your research. Do you want to go to law school? Why IP?

Th e 1st interview was with 2 partners, the 2nd interview was with 4 partners, all online. People were nice. They asked a lot of questions and expect you to ask a lot of questions as well.

First round was on-campus. Quick 30 minute interview with an associate from the firm.
Second round was at their office, met with 1 partner and 3 associates, one of which was a former technical advisor, over a 2.5 hour period.
Every attorney I spoke with was very friendly, but the HR folks were unpleasant during the process of setting up the second interview.
Received a rejection email a month later.

I applied through handshake and received an on-campus interview within 1 week. I was interviewed by a patent lawyer. The interview was short, 30 min. 10 mins asking about my resume and why I want to work as a technical advisor. 20 mins for me to ask questions about the job/company etc. I was not asked to analyze a patent claim. It took about 2 weeks to hear back, but I did not get the second round on-site interview.
