It was surprisingly tough to get my foot in the door for a lateral, despite having been extremely successful during my first few years as an associate at a mid-size firm (and attending a law school that I know they hire from). Of course that's their prerogative, but I got the impression I was summarily dismissed for not ticking some big law boxes.

Having had a few friends work for DM, I know they do multiple stages of panel interviews as well as one on one interviews with a few different attorneys. Huge range of questions given the extensive process.
Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un'agenzia di reclutamento personale. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Duane Morris (Dallas, TX) nel mese di mar 2023
Colloquio
I met with two partners first. After the initial meeting, I then had a follow-up with three associates. The interviews were more about fit than substance. I did not meet with anyone from the base office.

Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite un selezionatore. La procedura ha richiesto 2 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Duane Morris nel mese di apr 2015
Colloquio
Was told (a few weeks after accepting position) that when interviewing they look for people who would do well at a cocktail party that they don't know anyone at. Had 2 additional callbacks (4 total interviewers). Seemed to be more of a focus on personality as they already have your resume and know your skills.
