Entrevista
I had a rather negative experience during the interview process. I was required to wait for approximately an hour beyond the scheduled appointment time. During the interview, when I attempted to share my experiences, I felt that the associate was somewhat disengaged and not particularly receptive. At times, they appeared to be focused on their phone or laptop while I was answering questions, which gave the impression that they were not fully attentive. This made the interaction feel uncomfortable. They also repeatedly emphasised how busy the department is, which came across as somewhat discouraging. Candidates should also be prepared for a legal knowledge assessment, as the process includes a written test followed by an explanation of your answers.

Fiz uma entrevista na empresa Rahmat Lim & Partners.
Entrevista
I recently went through a three-stage interview process with the firm.
The first two stages were very positive. The interviewers were professional, attentive, and gave me the space to share my perspectives. It felt like a constructive, two-way dialogue where I was able to learn about the firm while they learned about me.
Unfortunately, my experience during the final stage with the senior partner was quite different. The interview was scheduled for a certain time, but I was left waiting around 30–40 minutes as she was in another meeting. While I understand that senior leadership often has busy schedules, I felt that this delay, without much acknowledgment, came across as unprofessional.
Once the conversation began, it did not feel like a balanced exchange. Although the partner listened to my responses, most of my points were immediately countered without much opportunity for me to elaborate further. This made the interaction feel more combative than conversational. Additionally, a comment was made comparing me to a previous employee who had spoken negatively about the firm. I felt this was an unfair assumption to make about a candidate they had only just met.
The interview ended abruptly without giving me the chance to ask questions about the role, which was disappointing as it left me with little insight into the position or the company’s culture.
While I don’t take these things personally, I do feel that the final stage could have been conducted in a more professional and engaging manner. The earlier stages had left me with a positive impression, but unfortunately, the final round did the opposite.

Entrevista
I was placed in a meeting room to complete an application form. After waiting for quite some time, an HR representative came in and handed me a case study for a written test. This was followed by an interview with the partners from the department I applied to, where the discussion mainly centred on my working experience.
