Interviewed Apr 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
The interview was styled as an open discussion forum. No tricky or confusing questions. Bother interviewers asked basic questions to grasp my qualifications, goals and if I'd be a good fit for the group. The half hour meeting was satisfying enough in the sense that I had a solid understanding of what to expect, and knew I would be happy with the company.

Interviewed Nov 2011 (took a day)
Standard questions about what your favorite ad campaigns was, explaining your resume, explaining the job and the ins and outs of the account. What is the outrageous thing is that the HR department just jerks you around - didnt tell me whether I got the job for weeks and didn't respond to my queries. To make it worse, one of the people I interviewed with, who encouraged me to ask him follow-up questions, ignored my email. After repeatedly asking if I got the job, they suggested I keep looking, still not giving a definitive no. Extremely rude.

Interviewed Jan 2012 in New York, NY (took a day)
Five minutes phone interview with Director of Talent, asked totally inapproriate ,unrelated & illegal questions for advertising agency regardless of the position. 1) when did you graduate from College 2) what I did from graduatioan to the first position listed on my resume (17 years work experience listed on my resume did not matter what so ever?), as this wasn't bad enough she had the audacity to request a resume with the information she was fishing for. I won't go near this company! Train your HR people before you get into serious trouble.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
I interned for 10 weeks. It's pretty much like a giant interview. They see how hard you'll work, your quality of work and what you're willing to go through. No one treated me like an intern. Everyone is super kind and very wiling to help you figure things out.
