I applied online. I interviewed at O’Hagan Meyer (Chicago, IL) in Mar 2026
Interview
Pre-screen discussion scheduled Wednesday. They confirm a few things on my resume and schedule an interview for the next day (Thursday) with the manager of the Billing department.
Interviewer was running 9 interviews. Several had been scheduled back-to-back, unfortunately causing my interview to start a few minutes late.
Interviewer mentioned several times how she'd been working there for 7 months. Explained she was looking more for a personality hire, and that there would be a second interview with the other accounting department manager to get their opinion. Also said that I would "hear back for sure" on Monday.
Monday and Tuesday go by, I follow up Tuesday. Finally received a response on Thursday with a rejection email.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Are you fine with a hybrid schedule after 60 days in office?
Very friendly, conducted over zoom. Met with 2 partners, they are easy going and willing to answer my questions. The process was causal. I enjoyed a lot. Lasted for 30 minutes, much like a conversation than an interview.
Interviewers gave a basic run-down of what the firm does and the pay, asked about why I was interested in the firm, asked questions about difficult advocacy (see below) and a recent book I read.
