I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Mayer Brown (Hong Kong) in Feb 2023
Interview
Entire process from application submission to interview outcome day took about a month. 15-20 minute interview. Thought there would be a PTH test for the interview, but that did not come up for me personally. I was interviewed by 2 partners and HR. Everyone was incredibly friendly and it was really chill. Did not directly ask some questions, so it felt like a chat. Asked me about my outside interests from the application form and wanted to learn more about my personal background.

How have you been dealing with the pandemic? Why law? Questions about personal interests and background
They invited me to an interview on Zoom. There was a senior partner and an HR with her camera off. The partner was the main person asking me personality-based questions.

Question 1
Q1: why do you choose Mayer Brown? Q2: why should we choose you? Tell me more about yourself.
The interview process was around 15 minutes with a partner and HR. I was asked basic questions such as why law, why Mayer Brown, and self-introduction. There were also competency questions and questions on my cv.
