      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Potter Clarkson in Mar 2026

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Potter Clarkson

      Interview

      Two rounds. Each has a partner and an associate or senior. Not very technical, more about competency and background information. Professional process with timely updates and follow up, pleasant experience.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Introduce your PhD research, did you like it or not and why.
      Answer question

      Interview

      As someone mentioned below, the interview process felt more like an exam than a discussion of work experience and competencies from the CV. It might be more suitable for them to recruit candidates directly from a bachelor’s program, as they would have that kind of knowledge fresh and readily available, rather than candidates with work or research experience. In addition, the process was extremely slow, as it took three months to receive any response or have an interview scheduled. During that time, I received another job offer, which I accepted. Being this slow will only make them lose strong candidates. Overall, the interview was pleasant (apart from the organic chemistry exam part). Coming from Swedish work culture, their tone throughout the process felt posh and elitist, with a clear “we are special and unreachable” attitude, which is not the kind of work environment I want to be part of.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What are my hobbies (completely irrelevant for a job interview, but yeah)? How did I find out about Potter Clarkson? Why Potter Clarkson? Why patent attorney profession?

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Potter Clarkson

      Interview

      Online interview with partner and senior patent attorney. All very technical questions, not tailored to my experience, felt like an undergraduate exam. Didn't ask me any questions around my research, felt like a very fixed format or that they hadn't even looked at my CV.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Detailed questions around common undergraduate topics.
