      I interviewed at Kirkland & Ellis

      Interview

      The process was straightforward. I was contacted by a Coordinator/Generalist to set up a time to do a phone screen. I then spoke to another HR Coordinator and a Sr. HR Specialist. Those were about half an hour each and they were nice. The last interview was with a Sr. HR Manager/Office Manager. That went fine but there were some red flags during the interview. During the second and third interview, I was told that the lawyers come first and are a priority and the rest of the staff is second. That was a HUGE red flag because that means it's not an equitable workforce. They could've worded that differently but chose not to. I appreciate the bluntness, though. Of course, there was no follow-up or email after the last interview but am I surprised? Not really. The firm has already set the tone of its culture and its reputation by ghosting candidates.
