Interviewed May 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
Initially, I was contacted by email and set up a time for a phone interview with a recruiter.
The recruiter was very personable and didn't ask very tough questions. The interview was concise and hit on all the key points.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
One interview with HR consisting of various questions about experience, a portfolio review (for creative candidates), and some unexpected questions (which I now do expect) like "What was the last book you read?" Not too bad of an interview but I remember a high volume of questions in general.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in New York, NY (took 2 days)
They offered a third interview, then didn't follow through. I had to follow up several times regarding the pushed back interview before they said they decided to accept someone else.
The office is very tight knit and closed. the office glass is not transparent. It's very industrial.

Interviewed May 2010 in New York, NY (took 2 days)
McCaan was investing into multicultural marketing and was developing a new department. The interview was 1:1 and I met with a very nice woman. The position sounded extremely interesting and I was ready to accept the offer until I started observing the office dynamics. High walls surrounded each cubical and it seemed every person was cut off from one another. Although it maintained a very professional feel, it wasn't as collaborative as I would have liked it to be.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
After speaking with several former employees and several mentors within the ad industry, all suggested that I do not take the position due to the fact that McCaan maintains a high turnover rate from the lack of employee care and under-compensation. I decided to go with other present opportunities.

Interviewed Nov 2010 in New York, NY (took a day)
I got contact with a female recruiter and she was really nice. She asked me about what is my favorite brand and she told me hers. She also asked me why I want to be a planner and why McCann.We spent about 40 mins on the phone. She told me some current situation in their company. That's pretty much about it.

Interviewed Oct 2010 (took 2 weeks)
The interview took me 15-20 mins. Asked me to introduce myself. Talked about my background. He was very concern about the fact that I came from a mid/high-income family. Questioned about my ability to endure pressure and other negative factors. Also talked about my knowledge regarding the advertising industry. Was asked about expected salary.

Interviewed Feb 2008 (took 4+ weeks)
Met a couple of senior managers as well as other potential coworkers. Everyone clearly stated their responsibilities and gave me a great overview of the job.
Would definitely recommend to be very well prepared to defend your resume - give detailed examples of your previous jobs, why you want to change and why McCann is the right place for you.

Interviewed May 2009 in New York, NY (took a day)
Used a recruiter who had be go in a few time for multiple account. Seemed like they were desperate for people. People who I used to think were not very intelligent worked there so it gave me a negative perception of the company.

Interviewed Apr 2008 in New York, NY (took 2 months)
The whole process from the time they contacted me through the last interview took about 2 months. I had 7 - yes SEVEN - interviews. It seems like no one there is comfortable making a decision. I met with some very senior people who said they were just interviewing me as a courtesy to their co-workers. I followed up several times after my final interview and never got a response. To me this is a very bad sign.
