Interviewed Mar 2012 in New York, NY (took a day)
After being recommended by a professor, I applied for the internship via email in January. I received an invitation to interview through email in early March and interviewed later that month. I interviewed one-on-one with four people in the department I was applying for. They asked very typical interview questions, mostly behavior type questions. Everyone was really pleasant and clearly enjoyed working at Digitas. They said they would let all of the intern candidates know within the next week and a half; however, I didn't hear back from them for a month.

Interviewed Apr 2012 in New York, NY (took a day)
Standard questions with 2 brain-teasers. Didn't feel very welcomed and all they saw in me was what I had to offer. I didn't feel like they cared who I was as a person. Other advertising agencies made me feel more welcomed and behavioral and skill was 50/50 important.

Hint: You cannot leave people on the Ferris cart before your shift ends.
For example: 111, 1111 would be good.

Digitas was very responsive - it was less than a week after submitting my resume when i was called for a preliminary phone interview. After a quick assessment over the phone, i was asked to come into interview with 4 team members over the course of a couple hours in the afternoon.

Interviewed May 2009 in New York, NY (took 6 days)
I got a call through the online application on career-builder(surprise!). Very quick process- phone interview followed by meeting with everyone possible on the team in next 2 days including one phone interview with potential manager- that is the way at Digitas. Once it was done, I had a final interview with the VP that was great. good discussion, same questions - i think to validate answers from all the individuals who interviewed. You can clearly see when they have an urgent requirement. They hire and fire both at same speed when work is done. So ensure you find out about the position and who all have worked before in the team on projects. You will get a clear sense/.

Not much...but still some room. Do your research as much as possible people at the same level will have variation of 5-7K easily.

Interviewed Jan 2009 in New York, NY (took a day)
I interviewed in early 2008. Interview basically is around excel skills. Great environment, very young people in the company. Lots of parties and outings. Not a tough interview at all. Had 4 people interview me. One director, and three managers. Got an offer right away in less then a week. Their pay grade is very low!

Interviewed Dec 2009 in New York, NY (took 1 week)
Process began by a Digitas recruiter phoning me to ask if I'd like to interview for the position. She set a date with me for a phone interview with her, which took place a couple days later. After the phone interview, I was set up to meet with 2 individuals in person, as well as 2 further phone interviews. From there I met with the person I ultimately would be reporting directly to. The day after my final interview, I received a call from the intitial recruiter offering me the job.

Interviewed May 2010 in New York, NY (took 3 days)
The interview started with a 30-min phone call speaking with the immediate manager but not the hiring manager. We covered my resume and he asked some relevant questions about technology that were not covered on my resume and left it open for me to ask questions. It was a a good if brief interview. The next day I was informed that I would be coming back for a follow-up in person interview by several people.

Interviewed Jan 2010 in New York, NY (took 1 week)
I applied online and then heard back about two or three days later. We set up a phone interview and the interviewer called right on time. It lasted about 7 minutes in total.
We began by first going over my resume very quickly, almost too quickly. It seemed to be just an initial screen to see what I could do. The interviewer was nice, but spent more time talking than me, so I am not sure how much she really interviewed me. She then almost immediately asked me what my salary expectations were, so that left me with the feeling that they were more interested in money than a good fit.
The interviewer concluded the call rather quickly, and I felt I had to interrupt her in order to even be to try to "sell" myself. She then said she would pass on my info to the hiring managers and I never heard back one way or another.
Not a bad experience, per se, but I felt like I was not really listened to.

Interviewed Nov 2009 in New York, NY (took 2 days)
Applied online, interviewed with key team members over the course of 2 separate visits. They were very thorough and honest about the opportunities and challenges. The culture was very open, very driven and professional, but not hectic or stuffy. The hiring process was very smooth. After I accepted the offer letter via an online app, a hard copy was at my door within days. The background check was very thorough. When I arrived for my first day, everything was set up and waiting. The company seems well run internally.

Engaged in some negotiation. I would advise people to be honest with themselves and their skillset as to end up in a position that they want to be in vs. one they think they might want but in reality may not be ready for. In terms of salary, they will work with you within reason.

Interviewed Jun 2009 in New York, NY (took 4 weeks)
Very cool place. A bit unorganized with the rotating panel. Representative on the phone was friendly, but NOBODY followed up after the in-person portion. I'm hoping they're just trying to keep a warm pipeline. Good learning experience, but that's all
