Pleasant experience with creative company. Overqualified though. Their needs are students out of media schools.

Interviewed Jan 2011 (took 4 months)
I applied online for their internship program. Got a call from my potential boss a few months later. Had a short phone interview (about 15-20 minutes) which was surprisingly casual and didnt consist of normal interview questions, more about my background and experience personally. Was informed that I should hear back in 2 weeks, either way. Followed up and was told I should hear by following week. It's been a whole month since the interview, and I haven't heard anything yet. I just wish they would respect our time and send out rejection emails fast, so we can move on and plan the rest of our summers. It's kind of disrespectful to lie about dates, and not keep them.

Interviewed Mar 2009 in Winston Salem, NC (took 4+ weeks)
Although they expressed great interest in meeting with me, they put me off time and again. When they finally did bring me in, it was very disorganized. One of the main people to interview me was outright rude. I was a bit shocked to see that Creative Directors had to answer to a 20-something office manager, with whom they had to check in and out. I've never seen such a rigid - almost kindergarten-like - structure at any other agency. There was one person there whom I liked a great deal, but the rest of them bordered on unpleasant. I regret not having passed on lunch and the rest of the day's interviews.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Winston Salem, NC (took 4 weeks)
I applied via Monster and followed up through emails. All the way from the start, they were very nice and friendly. About three days after submitting my resume, I got a call from the Dir. of PR to set up a phone interview. It was friendly, mostly resume stuff, lasting about 15 minutes.
They got back to me in a week and invited me to come and have six interviews with people ranging from AE's to VP's. The interviews were all pretty positive, and the conversation was generally flowing. I didn't feel as if they had asked any questions out of my ability to answer. This was followed by a writing test and a mock press release, which took about two extra hours to complete.
Unfortunately, after a number of (successful) follow-up conversations with people I had met, I was informed about two weeks later that they had accepted someone else for the position. Still a positive experience though.

Interviewed Jul 2010 in Boston, MA (took 2 weeks)
I was contacted by HR via the phone and the conversation was short. She asked me about my interest in the position and then asked my availability in the coming week. She offered me a Monday interview, but I was unable to make it so we moved it to Tuesday. She said she would call me back with a time. I didn't receive a call until Monday at 5 for the time of my interview the next day. I went into the interview and was given a sheet with 6 people I was going to meet with. Each interviewer was scheduled for a half hour block and at the end of the day an excel aptitude test was required. The interview took about 5 hours in total.
Each interviewer asked only a few questions about my resume and a majority of the time was spent discussing the advertising field and what the position was like. It was very free flowing and relaxing.
I heard back a week later and was told that I didn't have enough agency experience for the position, but overall it was a positive experience and enjoyed having an open discussion about current marketing campaigns and Mullen as a company.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Boston, MA (took 1 week)
I was contacted by a hiring manager to set up a phone interview for the following week. The interview lasted about half an hour -- the woman I spoke to was extremely friendly and told me a lot about the position. She said she would love to bring me in and that I should check back in if I didn't hear anything by early the following week. I emailed to check in, and haven't heard from them again. At least they could have been up front and honest in stead of leading me on!
