    Is anyone still waiting to hear from Winston & Strawn? And did anyone else not get a confirmation email when you applied?

    Flex Legal experience

    The onboarding call wasn’t very formal, I believe I was asked to summarise my experience and maybe a scenario question, then she explained how the system works. I think it would take a lot to be rejected if you’ve made it to this call. And yes it’s fine to continue looking for jobs, I’ve...

    Thank you! I wouldn’t give up yet, some people had their VIs on the 3rd/4th and got AC invites last week so I assumed pfo, but that wasn’t the case

    Coming in on this late 😅 but if you think an adjustment will be helpful, I think it’s worth asking, they can then consider whether or not it is something they can do. I would also consider messaging @Jessica Booker as she may be able to advise based on your specific needs. I have previously...

    On their website they ask for a 2.1, it doesn’t mention strong or high, so I can’t imagine they are as strict as some other firms. Also from chambers student: “Director of Administration Halina Kasprowiak tells us: “We don’t have any kind of automatic sifting criteria.” She goes on to say that...

    The email says “Note there is no numerical reasoning or video interview component.”

    I think it’s an assumption. There are less people applying to regional offices but they also have less spaces, so proportionally the competition could be similar. But I’m not 100% sure!
