Relaxed, straightforward. The firm was generally cordial, but some of the partners were relatively dismissive off the bat. Lots of focus on buying in and working long hours, which may be a red flag.

Question 1
Why Cadwalader? Why _____ law practice? How is your experience relevant?
I interviewed at Cadwalader Wickersham (New York, NY)
Interview
Screening interview with Senior Associate. The overall experience was pleasant and the interviewer was nice. However, the interview felt a little rushed because of the time limit. I was asked typical law firm interview questions.
Typical interview with behavioral questions. Describe a time . . . List a weakness . . . etc. Met with multiple offices. The total interview was several hours long, but no different than any other firm in their market. Overall i would rate as a good experience.
