The interviewers were kind. They asked the right kind of questions and made very thorough research on my resume. They told me that the hours were long from the very beginning which I found very honest on their behalf. I didn't get an offer though due to lack of experience

I was interviewed by a partner and a senior associate of the department I was applying for. They asked me about my undergraduate studies, my previous work experience and the company I was working for, as well as my interests and specialisation from my LLM. They also asked me a couple of technical questions based on my previous experience. They were friendly and nice. At the end of the interview, I was asked if I would be willing to work 18-20 hours per day, even for extended periods of time (three consecutive weeks was indicatively provided by the partner). I hesitated to consent to that, especially before hearing about the remuneration benefits. However, they were unwilling to shared anything about the financials, before "locking me in".
