When BigLaw attorneys interview students, how soon afterward do they give feedback? What kind of feedback do you give as an interviewer at your firm (e.g. qualitative, quantitative, thumbs up, thumbs down, veto)? Does everyone get in a room or do you just submit the forms to one hiring partner, and/or to a black box? If you don't click with the student, what would make you still give them a thumbs up? Sorry if my questions are a little neurotic... !

You typically submit feedback directly after the interview (both qualitative and quantitative). Then, a small group usually decides on the next step. That group usually includes at least the hiring partner and a recruiting director.

Agreed. Don't misspell the person's name, in particular. They will notice that.

P1 - Nailed it. I would also say: If you don’t get an offer, it will make a favorable impression and help you learn if you say, “Can you give me feedback on why I didn’t receive an offer? i.e., what I can do better in the future?” It won’t change the offer / no offer decision, but you could get some helpful feedback (and make an impression that sticks). It’s a small world and you may interview with these people / firm again. I have been rejected by a number of firms at one point in my career and had them chasing to hire me at another point, so this isn’t wasted effort.
