I interviewed a few months ago for the DC office Competition. First round was a phone interview with a recruiter with general questions. For second round I could do either in person or video conference and I chose the latter. Three interviewers with junior (1-2 years), mid-level (4 years) and senior (10+ years) attorneys. Second round included more specific questions about my interest in Competition and my academic background (relevant UG and law school courses). HTH.

also interviewed for DC competition. "why antitrust?" was asked by all three interviewers.

Did you get an offer / accept the offer? what have you heard about working in this office?

Yeah I was asked that as well in all three. This was my backup plan in case I couldn't find a consulting job, which I did. I withdrew my app a few weeks after the interview.
